Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

"Delinquencies and Penalties in the Administration and Reception of the Sacraments" is an exhaustive canonical study focusing on the legal and moral framework governing the seven sacraments of the Roman Catholic Church. Written by Rev. George Lawrence Murphy, the work examines the strict requirements for the valid and lawful administration of these sacred rites, as well as the obligations of those who receive them.The text provides a detailed analysis of the various infractions-or delinquencies-that may arise through negligence, ignorance, or malice, and outlines the specific penalties and censures mandated by ecclesiastical law. This study is particularly valuable for its focus on the 1917 Code of Canon Law, offering a clear window into the judicial and spiritual discipline of the early 20th-century Church. It addresses complex questions of validity, liceity, and the jurisdictional authority of the clergy.Essential for scholars of church history, theology, and canon law, "Delinquencies and Penalties in the Administration and Reception of the Sacraments" serves as a critical reference for understanding the intersection of divine grace and human law within the Catholic tradition.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
