Canon 771

1. The names of the candidates for sacred orders are to be made

known publicly in the parish church of each candidate according

to the norm of particular law. 2. All the Christian faithful

are bound by the obligation to reveal impediments, if they know

of any, to the eparchial bishop or the pastor before the sacred

ordination. 3. The eparchial bishop shall entrust the pastor

who makes the publication and even another presbyter, if its

seems expedient, to inquire diligently about the morals and life

of candidates from persons of upright faith and to send testimonial letters to the eparchial curia referring to the same investigation and publication. 4. The eparchial bishop should not

omit to make other investigations, even private, if he judges it

opportune.
