All the organizations of the Kingdom--the Magisterium, the Consistorial Court of Discipline, the General Oblation Board--are detestable; so are the individuals who staff them. The seven notaries of the Holy See who were protonotaries, a sought-after rank, had duties related to the issue of consistorial benefices, and they took substantial fees for their notarial acts (Partner, 1990, 4, 21-22). In some cases of gross public misbehavior by citizens profaning Calvinist doctrines or offending ministerial sensibilities, lay magistrates intervened either to assert their own municipal police powers or to protect kinsmen and proteges, bringing consistorial disciplinary proceedings to a complete halt. |
