Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

"The MATRIMONIAL IMPEDIMENTS of Mixed Religion and Disparity of Cult" is an authoritative legal treatise on the regulations of the Catholic Church concerning marriages between individuals of different faiths. As a significant contribution to the field of canon law, this work meticulously examines the two distinct impediments that historically governed such unions: mixta religio (mixed religion) and disparitas cultus (disparity of cult).The study provides a comprehensive historical and analytical overview of ecclesiastical legislation, tracing the development of these impediments from early Church tradition through the 1917 Code of Canon Law. It addresses the theological foundations for these restrictions, the specific legal requirements for a valid marriage, and the rigorous process for granting dispensations. By exploring the Church's pastoral and legal concerns regarding the preservation of faith within the family unit, the book offers essential insights into the intersection of religious doctrine and matrimonial law.Written for scholars of theology, canon lawyers, and historians, this volume serves as a detailed guide to the complexities of interfaith marriage within the Catholic tradition. It remains a vital reference for understanding the historical evolution of matrimonial discipline and the administrative procedures of the ecclesiastical courts during the early twentieth century.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
