[D. JOSÉ I / D. MARIA I]. IGREJA — Benefícios, Capelas, Residência dos Beneficiados e Junta da Bula. c. 1754–1790. - [D. JOSÉ I / D. MARIA I] IGREJA — Benefícios, Capelas, Residência dos Beneficiados e Junta da Bula . c. 1754–1790. 5 diplomas: 3 Alvarás, 1 Carta, 1 Alvará de Regimento com força de Lei. A set of five decrees concerning the organization and income of the Portuguese secular clergy: the salaries of the Auditors of the Chapels of King Afonso IV, the Regulations of the Board of the Bull of the Crusade, the obligations of the beneficiaries of the Collegiate Churches of Madeira, the Chapels of the Church of Coruche, and the union of the Priory of Crato with the Infantado. The regulation of ecclesiastical benefices—positions with fixed incomes belonging to the clergy—was a matter of great complexity, involving the Crown's patronage rights, the residence obligations of clergymen, and royal control over Church income. c. 1754 (D. José I) — Abolishes all fees, allowances and ordinary payments received by the General Commissioner, Deputies, Ministers and Officials of the Board of the Bull of the Crusade; adds appropriate salaries effective from January 1, 1754 and gives a new Regulation of signatures and emoluments; reform of the Board of the Crusade. June 25, 1760 (King Joseph I) — Orders that the Auditors of the Chapels of King Afonso IV, appointed by the Provider and Administrator, shall receive from their salary, from the income of the Chapels, one moio of wheat and another of barley, in addition to signatures and emoluments; notwithstanding the Royal Decree of March 23, 1754. 13 Nov 1783 (D. Maria I) — Declares that the Bishop of Funchal cannot unilaterally grant retirement or leave to Dignitaries, Canons, Vicars and Beneficiaries; that all Benefices of Collegiate Churches are subject to the obligation of residence; orders that the Treasury of Madeira and Porto Santo not pay without confirmation from the Board of Conscience. January 30, 1788 (Queen Maria I) — Chapels of the Collegiate Church of St. John the Baptist of Coruche, always subject to the charges imposed by the Founders; lifting of sequestrations of income and distribution to the three parts of the Beneficiaries. 31 Jan 1790 (D. Maria I) — Renews and ratifies the Annexation and Union of the Priory of Crato to the House and State of the Infantado, in the declared form; incorporation of a priory into the domain of a Royal House. The collection documents the diversity of royal interventions regarding ecclesiastical benefices and revenues: from the reform of the Crusade Council to the salaries of medieval chapels, from the discipline of the island clergy to the annexation of priories to the Royal Houses. It is a source of interest for the study of relations between the State and the Church in modern Portugal. ⚑ Auto-translated via Google Translate
