Ondertrouw a Dutch word refers to the statutory requirement in the Netherlands and Belgium to formally register the intention to marry. ref The information in this article is an adapted translation of the article on ondertrouw in the Dutch version of Wikipedia. ref Origin and development This ancient custom is similar to the publication of banns of marriage , but it is a civil process not an ecclesiastical one. Ondertrouw does not refer to the banns. The Dutch phrase for banns is kerkelijke huwelijksaankondiging . Ondertrouw existed before the Protestant Reformation Reformation and was continued afterwards. Ondertrouw has survived into modern times and exists today as a pre marriage legal requirement in both the Netherlands and Belgium. In both countries civil marriage is compulsory and couples intending to marry register the ondertrouw beforehand at the civil registry Burgerlijke Stand . Ondertrouw is now analogous to the process of applying for a marriage licence . Sometimes it is referred to as notice of intention to marry huwelijksaangifte . Ondertrouw should not be confused with the reading of the banns, engagement or betrothal. The word ondertrouw itself has no English equivalent. A common phrase used in this context is in ondertrouw gaan . A similar phrase used in 18th century Holland was in ondertrouw opgenomen . Both phrases mean to enter into ondertrouw . Procedure The length of the ondertrouw period can vary. Historically the period was three weeks. The idea was that there had to be enough time to determine that all legal and ecclesiastical requirements for marriage had been complied with. In the Netherlands, the period between the ondertrouw and the marriage is not fixed. However, under article 46 of Book 1 of the Dutch Civil Code the maximum period is a year and under article 62 of Book 1 the minimum period is fourteen days unless an exemption is obtained from the Public Prosecutor Openbaar Ministerie .

Taxa Innocentiana was a decree issued by Pope Innocent XI on 1 Oct., 1678, regulating the fees that might be demanded or accepted by episcopal chancery offices for various acts, instruments, or writings. According to the decree, bishops or their officials were not allowed to accept anything though freely offered for ordinations or anything connected therewith, such as dimissorial letters, etc. for institution to benefices for matrimonial dispensation s. In this last case, however, alms to be applied for religious uses could be demanded. A moderate charge, fixed by Innocent, may be exacted by the chancellor for expediting necessary documents, except those granting permission to say Catholic Mass Mass , administer the sacraments, preach, etc. The Taxa Innocentiana was silent in regard to contentious matters, e. g. the charge for copies of the acts of ecclesiastical trials. Some maintained that Innocent s legislation was promulgated for Italy only, but it evidenced the will of the Church, and at least in substance was of universal application. The Congregation for the Clergy Sacred Congregation of the Council on 10 June 1896, modified the prescriptions of Innocent, decreeing that while taxes or fees may be imposed according to justice and prudence in matters pertaining to benefices and sacraments, especially matrimony yet the sacraments themselves must be conferred without charge and pious customs connected therewith observed. In other matters not directly affecting the administration of the sacraments e. g. dispensations from the Banns of marriage banns , it is decreed that laudable customs must be observed and allowances made for various circumstances of time, place, and persons the poor are not to be taxed in any case the amount demanded must be moderate, so that persons may not be deterred thereby from receiving the sacraments as regards matrimony the exaction is to be remitted, if otherwise there would be danger of concubinage in regard to benefices the tax must b ... more details

The bride has fallen down the ladder, knocking over her beau and waking her father. To elope , most literally, merely means to run away and to not come back to the point of origination. ref Merriam Webster Online Dictionary, http www.merriam webster.com dictionary elope ref More specifically, elopement is often used to refer to a marriage conducted in sudden and secretive fashion, usually involving hurried flight away from one s place of residence together with one s beloved with the intention of getting married.

A record of 1422 shows that the plays took place at the feast of Corpus Christi feast Corpus Christi and this appears to have continued until 1521. Plays on Corpus Christi Day in 1475 included The trial and flagellation of Christ and The Crucifixion . The plays were then expanded into a three day cycle on Whit Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. In the years between the plays there was the Chester Midsummer Watch Parade instead. The plays are based on biblical texts, from Creation myth creation to the Last Judgment Last Judgement . They were enacted by common guild smen and artisan craftsmen on mounted stages that were moved around the city streets, with each company or guild performing one play. Prior to the event the Crier read out these banns The Aldermen and stewards of evrie societie and Companie draw youselves to your said severall companies according to Ancient Customme and soe to appear with your said severall Companies everie man as you are Called upon paine that shall fall thereon . Such early banns exhorted each company to perform well. Under Queen Elizabeth I the plays were seen as Popery and banned by the Church of England English Church . Despite this a play cycle was performed in 1568 and the cathedral paid for the stage and beer as in 1562. They were performed again, over four days, in 1575.

The term is also used in a generic sense, and may then equally refer to an apostolic prefecture , an apostolic vicariate , a Apostolic Administrator permanent apostolic administration , or a territorial abbacy see there . Status A territorial prelate exercises quasi bishop episcopal jurisdiction in a territory not comprised in any diocese. The origin of such prelates must necessarily be sought in the apostolic privileges, for only he whose authority is superior to that of bishops can grant an exemption from episcopal jurisdiction. Such exemption, therefore, comes only from the pope. The rights of prelates nullius are quasi episcopal, and these dignitaries are supposed to have any power that a bishop has, unless it is expressly denied to them by canon law . If they have not received episcopal consecration , such prelates may not confer holy orders . If not consecrated episcopally, they have not the power to exercise those functions of chrism consecrating oils , etc., which are referred to the episcopal order only analogously. Prelates nullius may take cognizance of matrimonial causes within the same limits as a bishop.
