Note 975 — Chapter X · THE INCOME OF THE CLERGY.
Reading edition
The earliest is the Council of Lateran, held by Calixtus II. in 1123. The Council of Lateran, A.D. 1179, commanded that those who at the peril of their souls retained property in tithes, should not, under any pretence, transfer it to lay hands. But no general Council assumes the payment of tithes to be due of common right to the parochial Rector, before the Council of Lateran held by Innocent III. in 1215.
