Excerpt from Religious Profession: A Commentary on a Chapter of the New Code of Canon Law We have given this brief account of the origin of the new Code because the subject matter Of our work is taken from one Of its chapters. This is one of the most important chapters of that part Of the Code which deals with the religious life, the chapter on Religious Profession. The explanation Of the enactments-contained in it will be useful to every institute in which the three religious vows Of poverty, chastity, and Obedience are taken, whether these be solemn or simple vows, perpetual or temporary; whether the institute be Of men or Of women; whether it has received approval directly from the Holy See or is only diocesan.
