The sex, indeed, does not allow her to perform the spiritual functions annexed to the priesthood, wherewith the abbot is usually invested; but there are instances of some abbesses who have a right, or rather a pri vilege, to commission a priest to act for them.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book is a comprehensive dictionary of religious and ecclesiastical terms, probing into the history of the church since the sacred canon was concluded. It explains the numerous terms and sects that have subsisted since that time.

An honest attempt has been made to communicate what is believed to be the truth, avoiding fanatical extremes and walking in the path of candor. The author has endeavored to carry the torch of truth without forgetting to walk in the path of candor.
