Note 460 — Chapter I · JURISDICTION
Richard F. (Richard Frederick) Clarke translation
The case is solved by Aertnys, who quotes a decree S. C. Ep. et Reg. 2 Mar., 1866 (Acta S. Sedis, vol. I. p. 683): “An religiosus non approbatus juxta leges proprii Ordinis a suo Superiore vel ipso invito cum sola facultate ordinarii valide excipiat confessiones sæcularium.” R. “Affirmative.” It is needless to say, of course, that such conduct is illicit.
