Note 100 — III. ITS VICTIMS.
Reading edition
In verification of this statement I am enabled to quote from the last authorized edition of the Canon Laws of the Church of Rome. “Omnes, qui abortûs seu fœtûs immaturi, tam animati quam inanimati, formati vel informis, ejectionem procuraverint, pœnas propositas et inflictas tam divino quam humano jure, ac tam per canonicas sanctiones et apostolicas constitutiones quam civilia jura adversus veros homicidas incurrere, hâc nostrâ perpetuo valiturâ constitutione statuimus et ordinamus.” Reiffenstuell, Jus Canonicum Universum, tome iii. Paris, 1854.
