Right of Presentation
1910 New Catholic Dictionary
The right that one enjoys of nominating or presenting a cleric to a vacant church or benefice. It is one of the privileges involved in the right of patronage, which may be conferred upon those who endow the church or benefice. To present a cleric, however, does not mean to install him in the office. This belongs exclusively to the ecclesiastical superior, who must accept the nominee if canonically fit.
