Overview

""The Sacramentals According to the Code of Canon Law"" is a comprehensive and scholarly examination of the rites, objects, and ceremonies set apart by the Catholic Church to foster devotion and provide spiritual benefits to the faithful. Written by John Linus Paschang, this work provides an in-depth analysis of the legal and theological framework surrounding sacramentals as established by the 1917 Code of Canon Law. The text explores the critical distinctions between sacraments and sacramentals, detailing the various categories of blessings, consecrations, and exorcisms. Paschang meticulously outlines the canonical requirements for the valid and licit administration of these rites, addressing the authority of the Holy See and the specific roles of the clergy. Readers will find detailed discussions on the nature of sacramentals, their intended effects, and the specific laws governing their use in both liturgical and private life. As a significant historical and legal study, this book serves as a valuable resource for canon lawyers, theologians, and those interested in the liturgical history of the Church. It clarifies the ecclesiastical discipline of the early twentieth century, providing clarity on how the Church sought to regulate and promote these diverse expressions of piety through its official legislative framework.
