The main object of this paper is to study relative homological aspects as well as further properties of tau-closed submodules. A submodule N of a module M is said to be tau-closed (or tau-pure) provided that M/N is tau-torsion-free, where tau stands for an idempotent radical. Whereas the well-known proper class Closed (Pure) of closed (pure) short exact sequences, the class tau - closed of tau-closed short exact sequences need not be a proper class. We describe the smallest proper class
