Intercalary fruits

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Intercalary fruits : in Catholic canon law, the income of completed benefices from their settlement to their reoccupation. These interim fruits , to which the bishops, sometimes even the Pope, sometimes made claims, used to be added to the benefice's stock of assets if they did not benefit general church funds , as in some countries ( Baden , Austria , Württemberg ). The cost of the vacancy was paid for in advance from the intercalary fruits.
