ST Suppl., q. 53

Of the Impediment of Vows and Orders

Supplement — compiled posthumously from Aquinas's early Sentences commentary

We must now consider the impediment of vows and orders. Under this head there are four points of inquiry:

(1) Whether a simple vow is a diriment impediment to matrimony?

(2) Whether a solemn vow is a diriment impediment?

(3) Whether order is an impediment to matrimony?

(4) Whether a man can receive a sacred order after being married?
