Summary/Abstract: This article analyses the evolution of the goods of the Church and its administration dur-ing the first millennium of the Christian era. It reveals the first community of Jerusalem where believers had everything in common, discusses the centrality of the Bishop and se-verely damaging mismanagement, and some of the provisions on the subject under study, especially those arising from the various councils. It talks about the attempts and tenden-cies towards the disintegration of the diocesan heritage as a unitary whole from the sixth century; notwithstanding which, the Bishop has the responsibility for his subordinate en-tities, keeping the administrative power over the property of the diocese. In the last part, the article presents several of these provisions in the Code of Canon Law by John Paul II.
