[Footnote 168: By the bishop of Barcelona, who proposed the word
_separatio_ for divorce _quoad torum_: ESMEIN, _op. cit._, II,
309. On the misleading names for the two kinds of separation
see POLLOCK AND MAITLAND, _Hist. of Eng. Law_, II, 392 n. 5.
However, a "modern distinction of some Catholic writers between
_anullatio_ and _separatio_ removes all ambiguity."--WOOLSEY,
_Divorce_, 124.]
[Footnote 169: "viii. Si quis dixerit ... vel Ecclesiam errare,
dum ob alias causas, praeter adulterium, facit divortium quoad
thorum seu cohabitationem, ad tempus vel perpetuo: anathema
sit."--THEINER, _Acta_, II, 313: ESMEIN, _op. cit._, II, 309 n.
1.]
[Footnote 170: Distinction is made between _dispensatio super
matrimonio_, that is, for dissolving an unconsummate marriage;
and _dispensatio matrimonialis_, that is, to remove an impediment
which otherwise would invalidate a proposed contract. In all
cases of dispensation careful judicial inquiry as to the grounds
of application is made: GEARY, _Marriage and Family Relations_,
510-14. _Cf._ WOOLSEY, _op. cit._, 122, 123; and especially the
convenient manual of POMPEN, _De dispensationibus_, 122-68.
For a full discussion of the intricate law and custom as to
dispensation see ESMEIN, _op. cit._, II, 315-68; FREISEN,
_Geschichte des can. Eherechts_, 891-906; SCHEURL, _Das gem.
deut. Eherecht_, 281 ff. In the oriental church dispensation from
the forbidden degrees is in general not allowed, ZHISHMAN: _Das
Eherecht der orient. Kirche_, 709-17.]
