Treatise VII: On Order

¶1.

(cc. 948-1011)

Utility. - These things commonly come into use chiefly for priests: that they may possess a right account of priestly vocation; that they may know accurately with what documents and letters those to be ordained must be furnished; that they may not be ignorant of the things which impede the exercise of order; and, by the help of certain rules, that they may forestall and calm scruples concerning valid ordination.
