 | | Except by leave of the bishop or sequestrator, the incumbent of a sequestered benefice cannot be presented. | | | It thus presents to all vacancies caused by simoniacal presentations, or by the incumbent having been presented to a bishopric or in benefices belonging to a bishopric when the see is vacant by the bishop's death, translation or deprivation. | | | Under the Benefices Act, advowsons may not be sold by public auction except in conjunction with landed property adjacent to the benefice; transfers of patronage must be registered in the registry of the diocese, and no such transfers can be made within twelve months after the last admission or institution to the benefice. |

| | CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Benefice |
| | In fact, as Innocent III declares, the sole purpose of the foundation of benefices was to enable the church to have at her command clerics who might devote themselves freely to works of religion. | | | This last mentioned element is fundamental, since a benefice exists only for the sake of securing the performance of duties connected with the worship of God, and is based on the Scriptural teaching that they who serve the altar should live by the altar. | | | A legal presumption exists that all benefices are secular, but those which exist in churches or houses of religious orders or which by custom or by the will of the founder have been appropriated to religious are known as regular benefices. |

| | CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Canonical Institution |
| | The term is used also for the actual putting in possession of a benefice (institutio corporalis), and for the approbation requisite for the exercising of the ecclesiastical ministry when an authority inferior to the bishop has power to confer an ecclesiastical benefice (institutio auctorisabilis). | | | It is only from the day when bishops and parish priests enter into possession of their benefices that they can validly assist at marriages celebrated in the diocese or in the parish (Decree "Ne temere", 2 August, 1907). | | | Formerly, on account of various privileges, and the constant intervention of the Holy See in the collation of benefices, several ecclesiastics were not infrequently named to the same benefice. |

| | But if, admonished by their bishops, they do not amend, let them be deprived of their benefices. | | | If anyone has received a deanery, prebend, or other ecclesiastical benefices from the hands of laymen, he shall be deprived of the benefices unjustly obtained. | | | It is beyond doubt that ecclesiastical honors are bestowed not in consideration of blood relationship but of merit, and the Church of God does not look for any successor with hereditary rights, but demands for its guidance and for the administration of its offices upright, wise, and religious persons. |

| | If the bishop should attempt to institute another to a Benefice, the canonical incumbent of which had been deprived under the provisions of an Act of Parliament, both he and the priest so instituted would be alike guilty of schism. | | | As regarded other ministrations, it was the bounden duty of the parish priest to teach, to baptise and to feed his flock, while the faithful had a right to his services. | | | The gist of the Report was that conciliar authority, historical documents and ecclesiastical writings were all opposed to a priest saying Mass at an unlicensed Altar. |

| | For instance, those who in certain churches are appointed to instruct the clerics of that church and other poor persons, and are in receipt of an ecclesiastical benefice for so doing, are not allowed to receive anything in return, either for teaching, or for celebrating or omitting any feasts. | | | Other things are annexed to spiritual things through being directed thereto, for instance the right of patronage, which is directed to the presentation of clerics to ecclesiastical benefices; and sacred vessels, which are directed to the use of the sacraments. | | | With regard to the granting of benefices it must, however, be observed, that it is not unlawful for a bishop, before presenting a person to a benefice, to decide, for some reason, to retain part of the revenues of the benefice in question, and to spend it on some pious object. |

| | Termon Lands etc. |
| | Before leaving the ecclesiastical divisions a word must be said about some of the lesser church properties such as the termons, or 'cross lands', of the old monastic houses. | | | We can infer, therefore, that the tithe of Aughrim Toohey was in patronage of the local 'lord of the soil' who could assign it to a church or a priest of his choice subject to episcopal approval. | | | And even after the churchlands were absorbed into the formal parishes in the reforms of medieval times, it was still necessary to preserve their boundaries since the termon tenants - they were sometimes called erenaghs - were required to pay an ecclesiastical rent to the bishop. |
