title. At least since the 3rd cent. the term has been used to designate the older churches of Rome. As several clergy were attached to each titulus, all of whom were provided with revenues for their maintenance, allocation to a ‘title’ at ordination came to mean the provision of maintenance. Hence the term has acquired the general sense of a definite spiritual charge or office with guarantee of maintenance, without which a bishop may not ordinarily ordain a person, unless he is prepared to support him (or her) until he can prefer him (or her) to a ‘living’.
