Temporalities
Temporalities (bona temporalia, from Latin tempus — "time", plural: Temporalia or Temporalien — „temporal goods“) are the secular properties and possessions of the Catholic Church. The term is most often used to describe those properties (a Stift in German or sticht in Dutch) that were used to support a bishop or other religious person or establishment. Its opposite are spiritualities.
