Canon Law A Text and Commentary

A Text and Commentary by Revs. Bouscaren and Ellis, S.J.

956 page book, Impr. 1946.

According to the authors, "We have tried to produce, not the most learned commentary, but a practical book for seminaries and priests. The years of teaching experience have led the authors to the conviction that the objective (of learning Canon Law) is best accomplished with a text which combines three features: first the use of the vernacular; second, outline surveys of as much as possible of the Latin text of the code; third, A judicious use of examples, cases, and questions." This large book is divided into seven parts as follows: One, General Rules; Two, Clerics; Three, Religious; Four, Indulgences and Orders; Five, Marriage; Six, Sacred Places and Times, Divine Worship, The Teaching Office of the Church; and Seven, Crimes and Penalties. This book will be a valuable reference to the laity as well as the clergy.
