Marriage Considered From Legal And Ecclesiastical Viewpoints: In Connection With The Recent Ne Temere Decree Of The Roman Catholic Church (1912)

""Marriage Considered From Legal And Ecclesiastical Viewpoints"" is a book written by Lewis Stockton in 1912. The book explores the concept of marriage from both legal and religious perspectives, with a particular focus on the recent ""Ne Temere"" decree of the Roman Catholic Church. The decree, which was issued in 1907, stipulated that all marriages involving at least one Catholic party must be performed in the presence of a Catholic priest and two witnesses, and that the couple must pledge to raise any children born of the union as Catholics. The book delves into the legal implications of the Ne Temere decree, examining its impact on civil law and the rights of non-Catholic parties to a marriage. It also explores the theological and ecclesiastical justifications for the decree, and considers its broader implications for the Catholic Church and its relationship with other religious traditions. Overall, ""Marriage Considered From Legal And Ecclesiastical Viewpoints"" provides a comprehensive and detailed analysis of the Ne Temere decree and its significance for marriage and religious practice in the early 20th century.With Suggestions For The Improvement Of State Marriage Laws.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
