Personal prelature

Okay kiddo, so a personal prelature is sort of like a club for people who believe in the same things. They have a special leader who helps them to do good things and be good people.

Instead of being a normal church that is based in one specific place, a personal prelature has members all over the world. The leader of the prelature, who is called the prelate, helps members in different areas to connect with each other and work together to help others.

The members of the prelature believe in some specific things, like helping people who are poor or sick, and living good lives according to their beliefs. The prelate helps them to do these things by giving advice and guidance.

So, basically, a personal prelature is a group of people who believe in the same things and want to help each other to do good. They have a special leader who helps them to stay connected and do important work together.
