| Whakarāpopototanga: | A question has arisen concerning the bishop's responsibility in providing for the care of elderly priests in need of long-term residential care. Specifically, my question concerns those priests who may have personal financial assets, sometimes rather substantial, and those who may have very few personal assets. My specific questions are twofold. They are these. In the first case, does it violate the provisions of canon 281, for the bishop to insist that the cleric use his own assets before the diocese steps in and picks up the costs? Second, can the bishop insist that the cleric apply for social security to cover the costs of his long-term care,agreeing to cover only what is not covered by social security? |
