1st year: Bible and theology simplified.
2d year: Amplification of the preceding course, and application of
the Bible to all the problems of life, social and private, to the
ceremonies and to the priestly life, and to ecclesiastical discipline.
By simply passing these courses, and if the good deportment of the
students be proved, they shall be ordained as presbyters and placed
in the parish churches.
But not on that account shall they cease to continue their studies,
and as is now the custom among the Roman priests, they shall be
examined annually, to determine whether they are fit to continue the
duties of priest, in the following manner.
1st year: History of religions.
2d year: Study of the distinct philosophical and theological systems.
3d year: Canons.
4th year: The studies of the baccalaureate which they have not passed.
Those who shall have studied theology already in the Roman seminaries,
shall be ordained as soon as possible as sub-deacons, deacons, and
presbyters, successively.
