| Summary: | The article discusses the key role of seminaristicum as a means of maintaining a seminary in the historical and legal context of the Catholic Church. The author analyses the development and formalisation of this tax by councils and its impact on contemporary ecclesiastical legislation. He assesses the contribution of papal teaching and the practice of the Roman Curia in shaping the regulations concerning seminaristicum. He interprets the provisions contained in the 1917 and 1983 Codes of Canon Law to understand their impact on the effectiveness and sustainability of the seminary financing system. The Church, taking into account traditions and contemporary challenges, should continue to adapt its approach to seminary financing. Precise particular legislation can play an important role in determining both the amount and the method of calculating the seminaristicum, which is essential for ensuring the quality of clergy formation. |
