dispensation from irregularity

When, in accordance with the law, a priest dispenses a penitent from an irregularity, either during confession, after absolution has been given, or outside the sacrament of penance, he says:

By the power granted to me I dispense you from the irregularity which you have incurred. In the name of the Father, and of the Son, @ and of the Holy Spirit.

The penitent answers: Amen.

(Cf. Rite of Penance, Appendix I, nn.3)
