Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Elements of Ecclesiastical Law, Vol. 3: Compiled With Reference to the "Const. Apostolicae Sedis" Of Pope Pius IX., The Council of the Vatican, and the Latest Decisions of the Roman Congregations; Ecclesiastical Punishments
This third volume deals with a subject which grates harshly on the ear of the reader. Punishments are never agreeable, either to the superior imposing, or to the subject receiving them. Yet they are coeval with fallen man, and will exist as long as man. Hence the necessity of a full and clear knowledge of them. By this knowledge, the superior will be enabled to impose them wisely, justly, moderately; the inferior, to safeguard and protect the rights given him by the law of the Church.
