Article III: On The Obligations Of Beneficiaries

2243. • Of the obligations of beneficiaries, some have regard to spiritual things, others to temporal things.

I. The obligations having regard to SPIRITUAL things are: 1. the obligation of reciting the canonical Hours, of wearing the habit, etc., as was explained above (n. 984-1004); 2. residence, concerning which in the following chapter n. 2261 and 2266); 3. special service, which either the nature of the Benefice or the tables of foundation require (See also n. 428 and 974).

II. But the obligations having regard to TEMPORAL things can be reduced to the right administration of the benefice and of its fruits. Hence there must be treated: 1. concerning the care and custody of the benefice or of the goods of the Church; 2. concerning the legitimate use of the goods of the Church.
