medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
Dear listmembers:
As I far I know, the church dedication is a rite which only a bishop
could carry on (B. Repsher, The Rite of church dedication in the early
medieval era; E. Palazzo, L'évêque et son image. L'illustration du
Pontifical au Moyen Age).
But I am studying a group of churches that are very close to a village
where a monastery built some churches without the bishop's permission
(there are medieval documents showing the litigation between the
bishop -who wanted to demolish the churches- and the abbot).
My question is: could an abbot make the rite? Or it is possible that
he invited a bishop from a different diocese?
Any information should be really appreciated!
Carlos
