Trent. The
choice of rectors, inspectors and Professors for the diocesan seminaries
is reserved to the bishop. Before naming them, he must ascertain that, as
regards their civil conduct, they will not give occasion to any objection
on the part of the government. The Archbishop Metropolitan of Mohilow
shall exercise in the ecclesiastical academy of St. Petersburg the same
jurisdiction as does each bishop in his diocesan seminary. He is the sole
chief of this academy--its supreme director. The council or directory of
this academy is only consultative. The choice of the rector, the inspector
and professors of this academy, shall be made by the archbishop, after he
has received the report of the Academical Council. The professors and
assistant-professors of Theological science shall always be chosen among
ecclesiastics. The other masters may be selected among lay persons,
professing the Roman Catholic religion. The confessors of the students of
each seminary and of the academy shall take no part in the disciplinary
government of the establishment. They shall be chosen and nominated by the
bishop or archbishop. When the limits of the dioceses shall have been
fixed according to the new regulation, the archbishop, with the advice of
the ordinaries, shall determine, once for all, the number of students that
each diocese may send to the academy. The programme of studies in the
seminaries shall be regulated by the bishops. The archbishop shall decide
upon that of the academy after having conferred with the Academical
Council. When the rule of the ecclesiastical academy of St. Petersburg
shall have been modified conformably with the principles agreed upon in
the preceding articles, the Archbishop of Mohilow will send to the Holy
See a report on the academy like that which was made by Archbishop
Koromanski when the academy was restored.

Articles 30 and 31. Wherever the right of patronage does not exist, or has
been discontinued for a certain time, parish priests shall be appointed by
the bishop. They must not offend the government, and must have undergone
examination and competition according to the rules laid down by the
Council of Trent. Roman Catholic churches may be freely repaired at the
expense of communities or individuals who shall please to take charge of
this work. When their own resources are insufficient, they may apply to
the Imperial Government in order to obtain assistance. New churches shall
be constructed, and the
