Examples
“The communion of spiritual goods and indulgences, granted by monasteries in the last centuries to another monastery, to benefactors and friends outside the cloister, or to other confraternities, is more than a memorial of the old brotherhoods, since in these grants, or communicationes, the promise of spiritual help for the deceased is one of the chief features.”

“As it turned out, the legal protections carefully put in place were insufficient to fully protect the rights of the sitters and the families of the deceased they represented because of what would transpire during the B-roll filming.”
