Vol. II, Bk. XI, Chapter II. Irregularities from Defect

n. 5.

Loss of reputation, or infamy, is a cause of irregularity. Those who are guilty of certain grave crimes are declared by canon law to be ipso facto infamous, and become irregular.

n. 6.

Those who are or who have been epileptics, insane, or possessed by the devil are irregular; if they became such after being ordained and are now certainly free, the Ordinary can permit his subjects to exercise again the Orders which they have received.
