RT Article T1 Il "sindaco apostolico" chierico in ambito francescano osservante tra autorità religiosa e governo episcopale: un caso singulare a Isola di Capo Rizzuto nel 1709 JF Angelicum VO 85 IS 4 SP 1199 OP 1217 A1 Carnì, Matteo LA Italian YR 2008 UL https://ixtheo.de/Record/1646352335 AB This article considers the important office of the "syndicus apostolicus" in the Franciscan Order. It begins with a brief historical presentation of the office, discussing some papal constitutions about this kind of financial administrator (oeconomus religiosus) during the XIII-XVI centuries. Economic matters were important in the life of each religious community; as a result "sindaci apostolici" were appointed by provincial ministers, and they enjoyed many privileges. The research is based on unpublished Vatican sources, in particular an important decree issued in 1710 by the Sacred Congregation for the Council. The article draws out the legal connections between the syndicus, Superiors in the Order and the diocesan bishop. NO S. 1213-1216: Dokumente
