Description
Nomination, in strict canon law, means a civil ruler naming a person for a church benefice or office, leaving the church superior to confer the post itself. The right grew from royal and civic endowment of churches, and it follows the rules of patronal presentation.
Church and state thus split the act: the secular power freely chooses a fit candidate, while spiritual jurisdiction stays whole in the bishop or pope who institutes him. Modern appointments, the entry notes, usually rest on prior agreement between the two powers. In earlier days, the nominee himself sought canonical institution from his superior.
