Treatise IX. On The Sacrament Of Order

Literature. Besides the authors cited above who treat of all the sacraments, the following may be consulted: Gasparri, De sacra ordinatione, 2 vols., Paris, 1883; Many, De sacra ordinatione, Paris, 1904; Wernz, Ius Decretalium II, Rome, 1906; Cardinal van Rossum, De essentia sacramenti ordinis disquisitio historico-theologica, Freiburg im Breisgau, 1914.

Preliminary note. Since the treatise on the sacrament of Order pertains for the greater part either to Dogmatic Theology or to ecclesiastical law, we speak here only very briefly: 1. of the nature of this sacrament; 2. of its minister; 3. of its subject.
