Chapter — 1917 Code of Canon Law
Chapter IV: Of the Rites and Ceremonies of Sacred Ordination
Superseded as law in 1983 — read why this Code still matters. Each canon links to its 1983 counterpart.
In conferring any order, the minister is to observe exactly his own rites described in the Roman Pontifical or in other ritual books approved by the Church; for no reason is it lawful to omit or invert them.
In quovis conferendo ordine, minister proprios ritus in Pontificali Romano aliisve ritualibus libris ab Ecclesia probatis descriptos, adamussim servet, quos nulla ratione licet praeterire vel invertere.
1983 Code correlation: can. 1009
The Mass of ordination or of episcopal consecration must always be celebrated by the minister himself of the ordination or consecration.
Missa ordinationis vel consecrationis episcopalis semper debet ab ipsomet ordinationis vel consecrationis ministro celebrari.
If someone, already promoted to certain orders in an Eastern rite, has obtained from the Apostolic See an indult of receiving higher orders in the Latin rite, he must first receive in the Latin rite the orders which he did not receive in the Eastern rite.
Si quis, ritu orientali ad aliquos ordines iam promotus, a Sede Apostolica indultum obtinuerit superiores ordines suscipiendi ritu latino, debet prius ritu latino recipere ordines quos ritu orientali non receperit.
All those promoted to major orders are held by the obligation of receiving holy communion in the Mass itself of ordination.
Omnes ad maiores ordines promoti obligatione tenentur sacrae communionis in ipsa ordinationis Missa recipiendae.
