Lay female chancellors
There are reports about the existence of lay female chancellors in certain dioceses. This should maybe be mentioned in the article, along with a legal examination on how this relates to the norms set forth in canon law (cf canon 483). However, the current article appears to suggest that there are no specific rules on the issue, meaning that this could be acceptable in appropriate circumstances.

Out of date
This article is a copy, or is based on a copy, of the 1913 Catholic Encyclopedia. This makes it rather out of date. For example, the article states that there's noting in the "general law" about diocesan chanceries. That may have been true in 1913, but the 1983 Code of Canon Law and the 1990 Code of Canons of the Eastern Churches both go into diocesan chanceries, what officials are called for, their responsibilities, and their requirements. A complete rewrite may be needed. Gentgeen (talk) 20:53, 16 July 2010 (UTC)
