Explanation / Answer

The Vincentian Family Tree, is an attempt to trace the details of roots and origin of the entire Vincentian family worldwide. It's founding father is Vincent de Paul(France).There were ninety-nine founders who regarded Vincent de Paul as their authority (patron) and other seventy-nine founders who adopted the Common Rules of the Daughters of Charity as their structural tenant. Saint Vincent de Paul was a advisor to the elected committee as a patron.These establishments have influence from members of the Congregation of the Mission or the Company of the Daughters of Charity. The appointed Vincetians were mentors to other four extended associations. The main goal of these establishments is to serve the needs and those in suffering, by participating in religious rituals of offerings and charity to the poor. The success of this association can be witnessed by its global wide spread association. For example, Sisters of Charity of Saint Vincent de Paul in Germany, Congregation of the Preshitharam Sisters in India, Sisters ot Charity ot Saint Joseph’s (The American Sisters of Charity) in America etc . One question that I pondered upon as I researched the geneology of Vincentian family tree is the utmost focus on religion as the source of humanitarian work. This raises the question about the essence of human being. Are human beings essentially morally incapable of empathy unless the moral codes and laws of religion is extorted upon them ?.
