A "ponenza" is a formal proposal written by the staff of the Sacra
Congregatio de Propaganda Fide which is then submitted to higher authority
for decision. (See the Historical Sketch for details).
An "adlimina" visit is an obligatory visit made by a bishop to the Pope.
Limina means threshold, so a visit ad limina is a visit to the threshold. A
visit ad limina apostolorum means a pilgrimage to the sepulchres of St.
Peter and St. Paul in Rome (to the Basilica of the Prince of the Apostles
and to the Basilica of St. Paul Outside the Walls).
A "terna" is a list of three nominees for institution into a benefice or
bishopric presented to the Pope or other authority. One of the
responsibilities of bishops is to make such recommendations.
