Document 2/145/9 (Med. Papal Reps., App. V, no. 2)
- Description
- Pope Urban IV writes to the bishop of St Andrews stating that the bishop has said that in some parish churches in his city, subject to the bishop by divine law, which both religious and others hold for their own uses, perpetual vicarages do not have set values. In others, the valuations are so poor and meagre that the perpetual vicars of those churches cannot be properly sustained from the same vicarages and meet the burdens of incumbency there, concerning which matter the bishop petitioned the pope to make some provision. Pope Urban therefore commands the bishop’s fraternity to set values for perpetual vicarages in such churches and to augment them from the churches, after diligently considering their resources according to God.
