Pensio

Pensio i.e. the enjoyment or use of a part of the fruits of a benefice without service, was formerly a very common occurrence in the Church of Rome, and is even now occasionally enjoyed in the Church of England. SEE SINECURE. At present in the Romish Church the pensio is accorded only to priests de emeritu.

Titulis pensionis is the name of the secured income to a priest without regard as to its source.
