The Catholic Formulary in Accordance with the Code of Canon Law Peter O Akpoghiran J C D

Many canonists and church officials draw up public ecclesiastical documents such as official rescripts, decrees, indults, etc. in the exercise of their ecclesiastical ministry. Such church documents must meet the solemnities and requirements of canon law. There is a high demand for a book that would guide church officials not only in drawing up ecclesiastical public documents but also in ensuring that such documents fulfill the solemnities and requirements of canon law. This book is an attempt to meet such a demand. This book contains the relevant principles of canon law and a plethora of sample documents. Every effort has been made to ensure that the canonical principles and jurisprudence as well as the sample documents provided in this book meet the requirements of canon law. You will find this book an indispensable resource material, a blueprint, a reference guide for drawing up pertinent ecclesiastical documents. Volume 3A focuses on the canonical principles and the sample documents that pertain to the process of the declaration of marriage nullity in first instance with particular reference to lack of canonical form cases, ratified and non-consummated marriage cases, Pauline Privilege cases, and Petrine Privilege cases. It also treats frequently asked questions on ecclesiastical marriage annulment.
