GRATIAN OF BOLOGNA, CONCORDANCE OF DISCORDANT CANONS CAUSA 27, quaestio 2 (c. 1140) in E. Friedberg (ed), Corpus Juris Canonici (Leipzig, 1879; repr. Graz, 1959) 1:1046, 1062–78 [CD trans.] [Note: Some what follows is clearly legal, some of it only vaguely legal. As you go through these materials you should attempt to place these in their context. Who is the author? For what audience was he writing? What is the value of the material as law? After you have answered the background questions, you should attempt to get “the big picture.” What are Gratian and Peter Lombard saying about the formation of marriage? How do their views differ? Why do they differ? Pay particular attention to the way in which each author uses his authorities. You should make some effort to find out who the authors of the authorities were. How does each go about reconciling inconsistencies? How to the argument of the following rules upon which both agree: (a) espoused parties may choose the monastic life without the consent of their spouses but married parties may not? (b) a bigamist or one who marries a widow cannot become a priest? What role does the problem of marriage of Mary and Joseph play in the controversy? Who had the best of the argument (a) logically? (b) on the basis of authority? (c) on the basis of policy? Did Alexander III buy the Lombard’s view entirely? If not, why not? If so, why so?] CASE 271 A certain man who has taken the vow of chastity espoused [desponsavit] a wife; she, renouncing the previous match, betook herself to another and married him; he seeks after her to whom he was previously espoused. The first question is whether there can be marriage between those who have taken a vow of chastity? Second, is it permitted for one who is espoused to leave the one to whom she is espoused and marry another? [On the first question, Gratian produces a large number of contradictory canons. If there is to be any hope of reconciling them, some sort of distinction must be found. The distinction that Gratian uses for his ultimate resolution is that between simple and solemn vows. The former do not invalidate the marriage; the latter do. (This resolution became that of the classical canon law.)] ... Part 1. Gratian: The second question follows in which we seek to discover whether a girl espoused to another man can renounce the previous match and transfer her vows to another. First, we shall see whether they are married, second whether they can depart from each other. That they are married is easily shown by the definition of marriage and by the authority of many. For matrimony or nuptials are joining of man and woman holding firm to an undivided mode of life. Among them [the couple in the hypothetical case], moreover, was a joining which required an undivided mode of life, for there was between them consent which is the efficient cause of matrimony according to the statement of Isidore [of Seville; cf. Etymologies 9.7, a very free quotation; but the statement is a commonplace, ultimately deriving from D.50.17.30.], “consent makes matrimony.” Again John Chrysostom on Matthew [an anonymous author of a collection of homilies on Matthew, Homily 32]: [Canon 1.] Coitus does not make a marriage, but will does. And therefore the separation of body does not dissolve it but [separation] of will. Therefore, he who dismisses his wife and does not take another is still a husband. For even if he is separated in body, nonetheless he is still joined in will. When therefore he 1 Translated below are all that was in C.27 q.2 in what has recently been determined to be the “first recension” of the work. See A. Winroth, The Making of Gratian’s Decretum (Cambridge [UK], 2000), p. 222. Those items, or portions of items, that are from the “second recension” (or beyond) are, if they given, enclosed in curly brackets {}. Sec. viIi GRATIAN OF BOLOGNA, CONCORDANCE OF DISCORDANT CANONS C.27 Q.2 vIiI–3 has taken another woman, than he has fully dismissed [the first]. Therefore he who dismisses [his wife] does not commit adultery, but he who marries another. [Canon 2.] Again, Pope Nicholas [I, Response to the Bulgarians (866), c.3]: According to the laws, consent alone between the parties suffices when the question is whether parties are married. If that alone is lacking, anything else, even if accompanied by coitus, is frustrated. [Gratian:] Since therefore consent, which alone makes marriage, intervened between this couple, it appears that they were married. But it is asked, what sort of consent makes marriage? The consent of cohabitation? The consent of sexual intercourse? Both? If the consent of cohabitation made a marriage, then a brother could contract marriage with his sister. If the consent of sexual intercourse [made a marriage, then] there was no marriage between Mary and Joseph. For Mary had sworn that she would keep herself a virgin. For this reason she said to the angel, “How can this be since I know not man? [Lk. 2:34].” That is to say, since I have determined that I will not be known [by a man]. For if she had not known a man up to that point, it would not have been necessary to ask how she could have a son, but [it was necessary] because she had determined that she would not be known. § 1. If therefore contrary to her determination she had consented to sexual intercourse, who would have been guilty of having violated her vow of virginity in her mind, if not yet in her body. It would be shameful [nefas] to think that of her, but, as Augustine says [a pastiche of quotations and paraphrases from Augustine, principally from his De virginitate]: [Canon 3.] The blessed Mary proposed a vow in her heart that she would preserve her virginity, but she did not express the vow of virginity with her mouth. She subjected herself to divine disposition, when she prposed that she would preserve her virginity unless God revealed something different to her. Committing therefore her virginity to divine disposition she consented to carnal mingling, not that she desired it, but obeying divine inspiration whichever [God should command]. After she had born a son, she and her husband expressed with their lips what she had conceived in her heart. The mutual consent of cohabitation and maintaining an undivided habit of life made them husband and wife (coniuges). The undivided custom is to share with her husband all things that she shared with herself, and he likewise.2 To the undivided custom of life belongs that she could not take time out for prayer for a while nor profess continence without the consent of her husband. Because there was this consent between them, it is apparent that they were husband and wife (coniuges). [There follows a passage [canon 4] that was added later.] ... Gratian: Again, they [the couple in the hypothetical case] are also proved by authority to be married. For Ambrose says in his book on virgins [c. 6]: Canon 5: The conjugal pact not the deflowering of virginity makes a marriage. When the marriage begins, the name marriage is taken. The deflowering of virginity does not make a marriage, but the conjugal pact. Therefore, there is marriage when a virgin is joined [jungitur] to a man, not when

  • Stages of Papal Law

    Stages of Papal Law

    Journal of the British Academy, 5, 37–59. DOI https://doi.org/10.5871/jba/005.037 Posted 00 March 2017. © The British Academy 2017 Stages of papal law Raleigh Lecture on History read 1 November 2016 DAVID L. D’AVRAY Fellow of the British Academy Abstract: Papal law is known from the late 4th century (Siricius). There was demand for decretals and they were collected in private collections from the 5th century on. Charlemagne’s Admonitio generalis made papal legislation even better known and the Pseudo-Isidorian collections brought genuine decretals also to the wide audience that these partly forged collections reached. The papal reforms from the 11th century on gave rise to a new burst of papal decretals, and collections of them, culminating in the Liber Extra of 1234. The Council of Trent opened a new phase. The ‘Congregation of the Council’, set up to apply Trent’s non-dogmatic decrees, became a new source of papal law. Finally, in 1917, nearly a millennium and a half of papal law was codified by Cardinal Gasparri within two covers. Papal law was to a great extent ‘demand- driven’, which requires explanation. The theory proposed here is that Catholic Christianity was composed of a multitude of subsystems, not planned centrally and each with an evolving life of its own. Subsystems frequently interfered with the life of other subsystems, creating new entanglements. This constantly renewed complexity had the function (though not the purpose) of creating and recreating demand for papal law to sort out the entanglements between subsystems. For various reasons other religious systems have not generated the same demand: because the state plays a ‘papal’ role, or because the units are small, discrete and simple, or thanks to a clear simple blueprint, or because of conservatism combined with a tolerance of some inconsistency.
  • Legislating First Cousin Marriage in the Progressive Era

    Legislating First Cousin Marriage in the Progressive Era

    KISSING COUSINS: LEGISLATING FIRST COUSIN MARRIAGE IN THE PROGRESSIVE ERA Lori Jean Wilson Consanguineous or close-kin marriages are older than history itself. They appear in the religious texts and civil records of the earliest known societies, both nomadic and sedentary. Examples of historical cousin-marriages abound. However, one should not assume that consanguineous partnerships are archaic or products of a bygone era. In fact, Dr. Alan H. Bittles, a geneticist who has studied the history of cousin-marriage legislation, reported to the New York Times in 2009 that first-cousin marriages alone account for 10 percent of global marriages.1 As of 2010, twenty-six states in the United States permit first cousin marriage. Despite this legal acceptance, the stigma attached to first-cousin marriage persists. Prior to the mid- nineteenth century, however, the American public showed little distaste toward the practice of first cousin marriage. A shift in scientific opinion emerged in the mid-nineteenth century and had anthropologists questioning whether the custom had a place in western civilization or if it represented a throwback to barbarism. The significant shift in public opinion however, occurred during the Progressive Era as the discussion centered on genetics and eugenics. The American public vigorously debated whether such unions were harmful or beneficial to the children produced by first cousin unions. The public also debated what role individual states, through legislation, should take in restricting the practice of consanguineous marriages. While divergent opinions emerged regarding the effects of first cousin marriage, the creation of healthy children and a better, stronger future generation of Americans remained the primary goal of Americans on both sides of the debate.

    MANUAL OF POLICY Title Nepotism: Public Officials 1512 Legal Authority Approval of the Board of Trustees Page 1 of 2 Date Approved by Board Board Minute Order dated November 26, 2019 I. Purpose The purpose of this policy is to provide provisions regarding nepotism prohibition of public officials as defined by the consanguinity and affinity relationship. II. Policy A. Nepotism Prohibitions Applicable to Public Officials As public officials, the members of the Board of Trustees and the College President are subject to the nepotism prohibitions of Chapter 573 of the Texas Government Code. South Texas College shall not employ any person related within the second degree by affinity (marriage) or within the third degree by consanguinity (blood) to any member of the Board or the College President when the salary, fees, or compensation of the employee is paid from public funds or fees of office. A nepotism prohibition is not applicable to the employment of an individual with the College if: 1) the individual is employed in the position immediately before the election or appointment of the public official to whom the individual is related in a prohibited degree; and 2) that prior employment of the individual is continuous for at least: a. 30 days, if the public official is appointed; b. six months, if the public official is elected at an election other than the general election for state and county officers; or c. one year, if the public official is elected at the general election for state and county officers. If an individual whose employment is not subject to the nepotism prohibition continues in a position, the College President or the member of the Board of Trustees to whom the individual is related in a prohibited degree may not participate in any deliberation or voting on the employment, reemployment, change in status, compensation, or dismissal of the individual if that action applies only to the individual and is not taken regarding a bona fide class or category of employees.

    “THE FALSIFICATION OF HISTORY, ESPECIALLY IN REFERENCE TO THE REFORMATION AND THE CHARACTERS OF THE REFORMERS, AS PERTINACIOUSLY REPEATED BY THE ADVOCATES OF RITUALISM.” Church Association Tract 12 BY THE REV. T. P. BOULTBEE, M.A., LL.D., PRINCIPAL OF ST JOHN’S HALL, THEOLOGICAL COLLEGE, HIGHBURY, MIDDLESEX. “WOE unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter. Woe unto them . which justify the wicked for reward, and take away the righteousness of the righteous from him.” What darkness is like the darkness of bewildering falsehood, and what light is like the truth? Once One walked this earth who called Himself “The Truth.’’ Brightly beamed the full-orbed face of that Eternal Truth on the world’s darkness. But around Him surged the legions of that opposite who is called “the father of lies;” the traitor practised his treason; and “false witness was sought to put Him to death.” Calm and silent the august face of the Truth gleamed through the falsehood. But the gathering lies prevailed. Affixed to the accursed cross, the Truth Himself expired, and all was dark. “The sun was darkened,” and “there was darkness over all the earth.” And so He who was the Truth was laid in the tomb, and the power of falsehood prevailed in its final triumph. Nay! this was the very victory of the Truth of God! The blood did but seal the covenant. “Every promise of God was now yea and amen in Christ Jesus.” “A testament is of force after men are dead,” and now no power of Satan’s utmost lie can break the bond.

    INFORMATION TO USERS This dissertation was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections with a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again — beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. The majority of users indicate that the textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs" if essential to the understanding of the dissertation.

The French recension of Compilatio tertia* Petrus Beneventanus compiled a collection of Pope Innocent III's decretal letters in 1209 which covered the first twelve years of Innocent's pontificate. In 1209/10, Innocent authenticated the collection and sent it to the masters and students in Bologna. His bull (Devotioni vestrae), said Innocent, was to remove any scruples that the lawyers might have about using the collection in the schools and courts. The lawyers called the collection Compilatio tertia; it was the first officially sanctioned collection of papal decretals and has become a benchmark for the growing sophistication of European jurisprudence in the early thirteenth century.1 The modern investigation of the Compilationes antiquae began in the sixteenth century when Antonius Augustinus edited the first four compilations and publish- ed them in 1576. His edition was later republished in Paris (1609 and 1621) and as part of an Opera omnia in Lucca (1769).

Key Greek and Latin texts had been preserved in Rome’s public and private libraries during the collapse of the Roman Empire in the West. In the sixth and seventh centuries, monastic Christian scholars such as Cassiodorus (born ca. 485 AD) and Benedict of Nursia (480 – 547 AD) established scriptoria, places for copying manuscripts, in their monasteries. There they transcribed and stored classical collections.2 In the late eighth and ninth centuries, the Frankish King and Emperor of the Romans, Charlemagne (742-814 AD) renewed the preservation and dissemination of ancient literature as part of his intellectual and cultural revival, known today as the Carolingian Renaissance.

VAIL SA RESULT of the position which a lawyer occupies in his com- munity and of the very nature of the practice of law, nearly every legal practitioner from time to time is consulted about marriage problems. Perhaps in no other type of problem, upon which we attorneys are consulted, do we have such a good opportunity to act as social physicians as in the case of marital problems which are presented to us. Many of the persons who present their marriage difficulties to the lawyer are Catholics. Regardless of the religious tenets of the attorney, he will recognize the fact that his Catholic client is bound by two systems of law, the civil and the ecclesiastical. Knowing this he will be conscious of the fact that if he is to reach a solution to the problem, a solution which will be truly beneficial to his client, it must needs be a solution which is in conformity with both systems of law to which his client is subject.

If a judgment causes irreparable injury, it is a good candidate for review by supervisory writ. “Irreparable injury” is a term of art, meaning that any error in the judgment cannot, as a practical matter, be corrected on appeal following final judgment.
