- Title
O comprometimento moralizante dos sínodos portugueses entre os séculos XIV e XV.
- Authors
Alves Teodoro, Leandro
- Abstract
This study examines the synodial constitutions developed by late-medieval Portuguese bishops, containing series of proposals to define principles to govern the conduct of parish priests in their every-day activities. Taking into account the increase in bishops' legislative activity in this period, the present work seeks to offer an understanding of two key structural elements of these works: combating the licentious conduct of clerics and ensuring that all parish priests authorized to administer the Sacraments be duly licenced by their bishoprics.
