Question 56 — The Impediment of Spiritual Relationship

We must now consider the impediment of spiritual relationship.

Under this head there are five points of inquiry:

(1) Whether spiritual relationship is an impediment to marriage?

• (2) From what cause is it contracted?
• (3) Between whom?
• (4) Whether it passes from husband to wife?
• (5) Whether it passes to the father’s carnal children?
