"The need for an educated parochial clergy had been seen from early times and during
the Middle Ages was articulated by popes, councils and generations of canonists. Uneducated
parish priests, it was frequently said, were like the blind leading the blind, both
in peril of falling into the pit. Various efforts were made to remedy this problem,
culminating in 1298 with the decretal of Pope Boniface VIII Cum ex eo, which allowed
non-priest rectors of parish churches to absent themselves for up to seven years to
attend university. When their studies were completed, they had to become priests within
one year. This study set out to examine how this decretal was implemented over the
next fifty years in the diocese of Lincoln, the largest in England. The bishops' registers,
however, revealed a much wider practice. In addition to dispensations granted by virtue
of Cum ex eo, a substantial number of licences to study were also granted to rectors
who were already priests, particularly after 1320. In total, over twelve hundred rectors
of Lincoln diocese received permissions to study during this half-century period.
A comparison with two other dioceses shows that the granting of such permissions was
not peculiar to Lincoln diocese and occurred elsewhere at similar rates. This is suggestive
of a wider English phenomenon."--Publisher description
