medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
I'm working on custody of the Eucharist in canon law for a paper to be
delivered this summer. Lateran IV & various subsequent synods require
locking up reserved sacrament & holy oils. No mention of a sacristy thus
far in that limited context.I'm about from Innocent III to John XXII in
Mansi at this date.
