In 1453, the Provincial Council of Cashel convened in Limerick to establish a series of statutes aimed at promoting the proper conduct of divine services and safeguarding the rights and responsibilities of the church and its clergy. Key provisions included the obligation for church ministers to recite canonical hours, the requirement for parochial churches to maintain specific religious items, and the excommunication of individuals violating church laws. Additionally, the council mandated that temporal lords respect the rights of ecclesiastical persons and outlined penalties for various offenses against church authority and property.
