Banns , prescribed by the Council of Trent session 24 ch. 1, are
>Public announcements of an intended marriage. Their purpose is to discover matrimonial impediments if any exist. Unless a dispensation has been secured, three publications are required on three Sundays or holy days in the churches of the marrying parties. Anyone knowing of such impediments is bound in conscience to make the same known to the clergy concerned. Similar announcements are required for those about to receive holy orders. (Etym. Anglo-Saxon *gebann*, a proclamation.)
Have there been banns or public announcements for those entering into religious life, to insure there are no impediments (1983 CIC 597 , 642–45 )?
