Note 1016 — Chapter VII · RISE OF ECCLESIASTICAL MARRIAGE: THE CHURCH ACCEPTS THE LAY CONTRACT AND CEREMONIAL
Reading edition
Even the words of Lanfranc, strong as they are, do not invalidate an unblessed marriage. "He does not say that the union will be mere fornication; he says that it will be coniugium fornicatorium, an unlawful and fornicatory marriage. Lanfranc's words recall those of the Pseudo-Isidorian Evaristus which appear in c. 1, C. 30, q. 5"; Pollock and Maitland, op. cit., II, 368 n. 2; Freisen, Geschichte des can. Eherechts, 139.
