Portal Anglicanism The Court of Ecclesiastical Causes Reserved is an appellate court within the hierarchy of ecclesiasticalcourt s of the Church of England . Hearing cases involving church doctrine, ceremony, or ritual, the Court has jurisdiction over both the Province of Canterbury and the Province of York . As of 2009 the Court has met just twice since it was established. Activity The Court of Ecclesiastical Causes Reserved was created in 1963 with appellate jurisdiction in matters of doctrine, ritual or ceremonial. A complaint against a priest or deacon may be vetoed by his bishop , and one against a bishop by his archbishop . Before a case is heard, a preliminary enquiry by a Committee decides whether there is a case to answer. In the case of a priest or deacon, the Committee of Inquiry consists of the diocesan bishop, two members of the Lower House of Convocation of the Province, and two diocesan chancellor s. There are other provisions where the accused is a bishop. If the Committee allows the case to proceed, the Upper House of Convocation appoints a complainant against the accused in the Court for Ecclesiastical Causes Reserved, where the procedure resembles that of an assize court exercising jurisdiction but without a jury.

In the feudal system of the European Middle Ages, an ecclesiastical fief , held from the Church, followed all the laws laid down for temporal fiefs. The suzerain , e.g. bishop, abbot, or other possessor, granted an estate in perpetuity to a person, who thereby became his vassal . As such, the grantee at his enfeoffment did homage to his overlord, took an oath of fealty , and made offering of the prescribed money or other object, by reason of which he held his fief. These requirements had to be repeated as often as there was a change in the person of the suzerain or vassal. These fiefs were granted by churchmen to princes, barons, knights, and others, who thereupon assumed the obligation of protecting the church and domains of the overlord. Features of the system This system of feudal tenure was not always restricted to lands, as church revenues and tithes were often farmed out to secular persons as a species of ecclesiastical fief. Strictly speaking, however, a fief was usually defined as immovable property whose usufruct perpetually conceded to another under the obligation of fealty and personal homage . A fief was not ecclesiastical simply because its overlord was a churchman it was requisite also that the domain granted should be church property. Lands, which belonged to the patrimony of an ecclesiastic, became a secular fief if he bestowed them on a vassal. All fiefs were personal and hereditary, and many of the latter could be inherited by female descent. Passive fiefs Fiefs bestowed by the Church on vassals were called active fiefs when churchmen themselves undertook obligations to a suzerain, the fiefs were called passive . In the latter case, temporal princes gave certain lands to the Church by enfeoffing a bishop or abbot, and the latter had then to do homage as pro ..., and the power thereby acquired by secular princes over elections to ecclesiastical dignities led to the strife ... and 1269.
