2.3 Form Abrogation and Corruption

Article 63 - Forgery

Canon 1762 (link)

Forgery is the making of an imitation of some original Form with the deliberate intention to deceive. Therefore, a Forger is a fabricator of false imitation form.

Canon 1763 (link)

Forgery is a deliberate act of deception. Hence, forgery is the deliberate concealment of a known truth in order to mislead or cheat. Thus to “deceive” is to cause a man or woman to believe what is false, to lead into error and delude.

Canon 1764 (link)

The age of a thing does not mitigate its defect if clearly a forgery.

Canon 1765 (link)

A foundation of lies does not make a Kingdom of God, but a den of vipers doomed to fall.
