Council of Neocaesarea (c. 315)
Local councils, NPNF II.14
Chapter 7
A presbyter shall not be a guest at the nuptials of persons contracting a second marriage; for, since the digamist is worthy of penance, what kind of a presbyter shall he be, who, by being present at the feast, sanctioned the marriage?
Notes · Ancient Epitome of Canon VII
A presbyter ought not to be present at the marriage of digamists. For when that one1 implores favour, who will deem him worthy of favour.
Notes
- Bp. Beveridge for “that one” translates “the digamist.” The meaning is very obscure at best.
