Vicarii

Vicarii is a name given to certain officers ordered to be appointed by pope Innocent III in 1215, who were to have the care of souls in the larger dioceses neglected by the worldly minded bishops. The name was employed to distinguish them from the oficiales, who had simply a coercive jurisdiction.
