In recent times, many Latin American football leagues have divided their championships into two sections, awarding a champion for each. The second of the two, usually held in the spring and summer, is known as the Clausura, the "Closing." It can be contrasted with first, fall and winter section, the Apertura, or "Opening."
In French-speaking Haiti, these are known as the Ouverture and the Cl魌ure.
In modern ecclesiastical usage, clausura signifies, materially, an enclosed space for religious retirement; formally, it stands for the legal restrictions opposed to the free egress of those who are cloistered or enclosed and to the free entry, or free introduction, of outsiders within the limits of the material clausura.
Clausura) is of the opinion that a door which can be locked should separate the cloistered from the other parts of a house of religious.
Finally, it may be added that it is for the provincial superior to fix the limits of the cloister and the point at which it begins, in comformity with the usages of his order and with the local needs; of course his power is limited by the dispositions of the law.
De este modo la clausura elimina en gran medida la dispersi贸n, proveniente de tantos contactos innecesarios, de una multitud de im谩genes, que con frecuencia dan origen a ideas profanas y deseos vanos, y de informaciones y emociones que distraen de lo 煤nico necesario y disipan la unidad interior.
Las monjas de clausura, por su llamada espec铆fica a la uni贸n con Dios en la contemplaci贸n, se insertan plenamente en la comuni贸n eclesial, haci茅ndose signo singular de la uni贸n 铆ntima con Dios de toda la comunidad cristiana.
La clausura reservada a las monjas de vida 煤nicamente contemplativa se llama papal porque las normas que la regulan deben ser confirmadas por la Santa Sede, a煤n cuando se trate de normas que han de fijarse en las Constituciones y los otros C贸digos del Instituto (Estatutos, Directorio, etc.).
