Featured Term (selected at random):

INDULT

A temporary favor granted by the Holy See to bishops to permit them to do something not otherwise allowed. If given for a certain time, it must be renewed by competent ecclesiastical authority. Thus according to the Code of Canon Law, an indult is required for a priest to practice surgery and a cloistered nun needs an indult to travel outside the cloister.

Some priests have an indult to say more Masses than usual since they are the one and only priest in a parish.
