Canon 305

1. The rector of a church is named by the eparchial bishop

without prejudice to the right of the major superior of a religious institute or society of common life in the manner of religious to propose a suitable priest of his institute for appointment. 2. Even if the church belongs to some clerical institute

of consecrated life of pontifical or patriarchal right, the eparchial bishop is competent to name the rector of a church proposed

by the superior. 3. If the church is connected with a seminary

or other college which is governed by presbyters, the rector of

the seminary or college is, at the same time, the rector of the

church unless the eparchial bishop has determined otherwise.
