| | CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Foundation |
| | An ecclesiastical foundation is the making over of temporal goods to an ecclesiastical corporation or individual, either by gift during life or by will after death, on the condition of some spiritual work being done either in perpetuity or for a long time. | | | The specific works which have to be fulfilled must be set forth in the deed of foundation. | | | The reduction of a foundation obligation is a matter for the judgment and decision of the Holy See, although it is not uncommon for bishops to receive faculties to make such reduction. |
