DEVELOPMENT OF THE CLERICAL DUTIES AND RIGHTS

215

ministering the sacrament of baptism, and also of giving the homily which interprets the doctrine of the Church, but he can exercise this capacity only when the bishop is prevented, or if the priest owns permission from the competent bishop. The substantial difference between the degree of priest and degree of bishop is indicated well by Ans. 7. 120, which forbids the priests to celebrate high Mass, because the bishop has higher consecrational power than any other priests.55

Ivo of Chartres’s work56 and the Decretum Gratiani57 contain more detailed and sysematized discipline regarding the clerical duties and rights than Anselm’s Collection. The Ivonian Decretum, basicly in Book 6 speaks about clerics, their ordination, their correction and accusation. We can see similar contents in Book 3 of the Panormia and in Rubric 10 of the third part of the Tripartita,58 But many of the obligations of priests are listed in the description of administering the sacraments, which shows well how the stress is on the clerical duties in these collections.

55 Ans. 7.120: Sacerdotes quando Domino sacrificant non soli hoc agere debent, sed testes se- cum adhibeant, ut Domino perfecto in sacratis Deo sacrificare locis probentur. Ait namque auctoritas: Vide ne offeras holocausta tua in omni loco quern videris, se din loco quem elegerit dominus Deus tuus. Episcopus sacrificans testes habeat plures quam alius sacerdos. Thaner 414.
