§ 92. Division of Roman Catholic parish; disposition of property.
Wherever a Roman Catholic parish has been heretofore or shall hereafter
be duly divided by the Roman Catholic bishop having jurisdiction over
said parish, and the original Roman Catholic church corporation is given
one part of the old parish, and a new or second Roman Catholic church
corporation is given the remaining part of the old parish, and it
further appears that by reason of the said division the original Roman
Catholic church corporation holds title to real property situate within
the part of the old parish that was given to the new or second Roman
Catholic church corporation, then the said Roman Catholic bishop or his
successor shall have the right and power, of himself, independently of
any action or consent on the part of the trustees of the original Roman
Catholic church corporation, to transfer the title of the said real
property, with or without valuable consideration, to the said new or
second Roman Catholic church corporation. Said transfer shall be made by
the said Roman Catholic bishop or his successor after having complied
with the requirements of this chapter in the same manner as the trustees
of any religious corporation are compelled to do before making a
transfer of church property. If a valuable consideration is paid for the
transfer the same shall be received by the said Roman Catholic bishop or
his successor and distributed between the said original Roman Catholic
church corporation and the new or second Roman Catholic church
corporation in such proportions as in the discretion of the said bishop
or his successor may seem proper.
