This book explores the concept of irregularity in the Catholic Church, a perpetual impediment that prohibits the conferral and reception of holy orders, and consequently the exercise of orders and acceptance of benefice. Introduced by the Church to preserve the dignity and honor of its ministry, various irregularities have been instituted over many centuries, ranging from defects such as physical ailments or deformities, to crimes like homicide or bigamy. The author examines the development and evolution of these irregularities, providing a detailed account of their origins, nature, and effects. By studying irregularities, readers gain a deeper understanding of the Church's efforts to maintain the integrity and sanctity of its ordained ministers, and the reasons behind the specific prohibitions and dispensations that have been established over time.
