'''''Viri probati''''' is a Latin term which in the [[Canon law (Catholic Church)|Canon Law]] of the [[Catholic Church]], refers to men who are married at the time they are ordained a deacon, priest or [[bishop]]. According to the ancient practice of the Early Church, married men who are ordained as [[deacon]]s or [[priest]]s in the Catholic Church (in the Eastern Rites of the Church and by exception in the Latin Rite) must renounce future remarriage in the event of the death of their spouse. |
|||
The ancient law of the Church allowed married men to be ordained as long as they and their wives were committed to [[sexual continence|continence]], that is, renounced freely and completely sexual contact between them.{{Fact|date=February 2007}} |
