Faculty to Celebrate Sacraments in Another Rite

Abstract

According to the mind of the Church, every priest must celebrate the sacraments within his own rite and is forbidden from doing so in another rite without proper authorization. Priests of a particular Church sui iuris are intended to serve that same Church. Should a genuine need to work outside his rite arise, the priest is required to obtain a Bi-ritual faculty directly from the Apostolic See to make such a celebration lawful.
