Canon 1015. Previous Next | §1. Each person is to be ordained to the presbyterate or the diaconate by his proper bishop or with legitimate dimissorial letters from him.
§2. If not impeded by a just cause, the proper bishop is to ordain his own subjects personally; without an apostolic indult, however, he cannot ordain licitly a subject of an Eastern rite. §3. The person who can give dimissorial letters to receive orders can himself also confer the same orders personally if he possesses the episcopal character. |
