CHAPTER I : CHURCHES §2 The diocesan Bishop is not to give his consent until he has consulted the council of priests and the rectors of neighbouring churches, and then decides that the new church can serve the good of souls and that the necessary means will be available to build the church and to provide for divine worship. §3 Even though they have received the diocesan Bishop's consent to establish a new house in a diocese or city, religious institutes must obtain the same Bishop's permission before they may build a church in a specific and determined place. §2 Churches, especially cathedrals and parish churches, are to be dedicated by a solemn rite. §2 Ordinary concern for preservation and appropriate means of security are to be employed to safeguard sacred and precious goods. Can. 1221 Entry to a church at the hours of sacred functions is to be open and free of charge. §2 Where other grave reasons suggest that a particular church should no longer be used for divine worship, the diocesan Bishop may allow it to be used for a secular but not unbecoming purpose. Before doing so, he must consult the council of priests; he must also have the consent of those who could lawfully claim rights over that church, and be sure that the good of souls would not be harmed by the transfer.
