Document Title: "cannon law 277
Question from on 04-20-2007:
Can you explain the meaing of cannon 277. I am thinking of becoming a deacon. In this part of the cannon if I understand it correctly a deacon is a cleric and he shouldn't have relations with his wife once he is ordain. Please explain this. Thank you
Answer by Rev. Mark J. Gantley, JCL on 04-20-2007:
Canon 277 obliges clerics to celibacy. However, canon 1031 provides an exception.

There is no restriction on deacons and their wives in fulfilling their obligations and exercising their rights to sexual intimacy."
