The author deals with the qualities that a candidate for the episcopacy was expected to have in the Middle Ages and should have today. Such requirements are found in medieval, modern, and contemporary normative ecclesiastical acts. The current basic requirement is found in Boni Pastoris Imago. The other requirements are divided into eight categories: canonical, non-canonical, human, spiritual, intellectual, pastoral, sentire cum Ecclesia, and social requirements.
