Abstract

Although vigilance is nowadays regarded as a legal institution even under Canon law, and especially in the area of canonical administrative law, this has not always been the case. In medieval canon law, vigilance was a pastoral duty with relevant legal implications, but not a legal institution in itself. However, through which legal instruments was the duty of vigilance established? According to Hostiensis, the ways in which pastoral care was carried out were: visiting, correcting, punishing and administering the sacraments.
