Excerpt: ? succeeds when the vacancy occurs. Such rights first come into notice in the twelfth century. For the purpose of rewarding deserving clergy and scholars, but also, especially later, in order to pro vide an income or a higher income for officials and favorites of the curia, or to please secular rulers, the popes began in the period named to give letters of commendation to bishops and chapters regarding the bestowal of benefices, whether vacant or not. These soon assumed a mandatory character, and compliance with them was enforced by special officials and by the employment of ecclesiastical censures, the right to issue them having been held since Innocent III as a part of the papal powers. The resistance of the persons regularly entitled to nominate to such offices brought about the formal reservation of whole classes of benefices to the pope (see RESERVATIONS, PAPAL).
