Simony () is the act of selling church offices and roles or sacred things. It is named after Simon Magus, who is described in the Acts of the Apostles as having offered two disciples of Jesus payment in exchange for their empowering him to impart the power of the Holy Spirit to anyone on whom he would place his hands. The term extends to other forms of trafficking for money in "spiritual things".

AI overview

Simony is the practice of buying or selling church positions and sacred things for money, named after Simon Magus in the Bible who tried to pay for spiritual powers. The term matters because it describes a corruption of religious authority—treating spiritual roles and blessings as commodities to be traded rather than as gifts or responsibilities to be earned through faith and merit.

買賣聖職(英語:Simony),又稱販賣聖事、販賣聖職,是指用金錢買賣教會職位的罪行。Simony來自行邪術的西满(拉丁語:Simon Magus),據《宗徒大事录8:18-24》記載,西满企圖向聖伯多祿購買「赋给人圣神」的權力,被聖伯多祿拒絕。 中世紀時,世俗的權力鬥爭介入教會,皇帝任命受過高深教育的教士為高級官員,世俗權力加速神職人員的腐化。買賣聖職動搖教會的道德水準,情勢每況愈下。教會內的改革派呼籲恢復傳統的修道生活。克吕尼改革中,教宗額我略七世打擊買賣聖職,引起與亨利四世的敘任權鬥爭。 天主教会认为買賣聖職属于一种反宗教的罪行。
