Considered a hindering impediment by some canonists. If one party has publicly rejected the Catholic faith without joining a heretical sect, or has become a member of a society condemned by the Church, or has been guilty of public crime, or has incurred censure and shows no repentance, the approval of the bishop must be obtained in order to assist at the marriage.
