Can. 1171 Sacred things are destined for divine worship through dedication or a blessing, are to be treated with reverence and not be employed for improper or profane use even if they are control of private individuals.- Code of Canon Law, c. 1171, in Code of Canon Law: Latin-English Edition (Washington, DC: Canon Law Society of America, 1999), 423.
This canon defines the special case of blessing by which an object is consecrated for sacred use. This special case of a blessing is treated uniquely in most literature on the subject of blessings, especially by manuals.
