75% of players answered correctly.

THE CORRECT ANSWER: He is the notary of the diocese, responsible for the conservation of archives and the authentication of acts

In the administration of the Haitian Catholic Church, the Chancellor occupies an essential canonical function often unknown to the general public. Appointed by the bishop, he acts as the secretary and official notary of the diocesan curia. Its main mission is to ensure that the acts of the curia are drawn up, sent and preserved with the greatest rigor in the archives.He authenticates by his signature official decisions, ordinations and episcopal decrees. For an informed faithful, understanding the role of the chancellor allows us to grasp the institutional and legal dimension of the Church, guaranteeing the historical and sacramental continuity of the diocese.Although his work is often carried out in the shadows, without him, administrative memory and the legal validity of ecclesiastical acts would be compromised. It ensures the protection of documentary heritage which bears witness to the spiritual and sacramental life of generations of baptized Haitians.
