Elements of Ecclesiastical Law e-bog

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. The common law of the Church - and we mean not merely its letter, but also its spirit - must therefore be, so to say, the mirror before which our peculiar mode of procedure must be placed, considered, and studied. This mirror alone fur nishes the correct key of the Instruction. Hence, throughout this volume, the peculiar trial as prescribed for this country by the Instruction of July 20, 1878, is everywhere and in all its details compared with the canonical trial as established by the sacred canons. The points of agreement as well as of divergence between the one and the other are carefully pointed out and explained.
