Simple cures and benefits 
The curacy is the "charge of the soul" (from the Latin cura animarum), i.e. the spiritual responsibility for a parish. A maximum of one priest can be a parish priest - depending on the region, this is also known as the rector or abbot of a parish, and the other priests are known as vicars. Nowadays, a parish priest's responsibilities tend to extend over several communes. By extension, the term cure is sometimes used to refer to the presbytery or to designate the people involved in the life of the parish. The ecclesiastical benefice is a set of assets intended to finance an ecclesiastical office. Since the law of 24 June 1955, church administrations have been authorised to entrust their old archives to the care of the State Archives.
