is the ceremony of installing a bishop on the episcopal seat immediately after his consecration. It is said that in the early times of the Church it was customary for the bishop, after taking possession of his seat, to address the congregation, and this address was called the Inthronization sermon. To the provincials under his control he addressed instead letters containing his confession of faith, intended to establish communications with them: these were called Inthronization letters (Bingham, Orig. Ecclesiastes 1:2, c. 11:§10). Inthronization money is the sum of money paid by some prelates for the purpose of securing their ordination. — Bergier, Dict. de Theol. 3:438.
