The Consecration of Churches.

WHen St. Gregory commission'd Bishops to Consecrate Oratories and Churches, the chief thing which he recommended to them, was, to take good heed that no dead body were buried in the place. This is to be found in very many places of his Letters. See among others B. 1. Ep. 52. B. 5. Ep. 22. B. 7. Ind. 10. 6. B. 12. Ep. 10, &c. If a Bishop consecrated an Oratory in another Diocese, he declares that what he had done was null and void. B. 11. Ep. 2. The Pagan Temples must be Consecrated with Holy Water, after the Idols are destroy'd, B. 9. Ep. 71. He would not have a new Church consecrated, unless it were endow'd with a sufficient Revenue, for maintaining Divine Service and the Clergy, B. 2. Ind. 10. Ep. 9. B. 7. Ind. 1. Ep. 6. B. 8. Ep. 63. B. 11. Ep. 18. B. 21. Ep. 10.
