Summary/Abstract: The paper describes positives and negatives requests for candidates of the holy orders given by the actual norms of the Catholic Church. First it clarifies the reasons for such requests and their foundation in the Code of canon Law from 1983 and in extra-‑codified norms and basic requests for the validity and lawfulness of orders as well. Subsequently, the author deals with concrete requests and their verification in the three stages of the formation for priesthood: the initial one connected with acceptance to the major seminary, further during the formation in seminary and finally immediately before ordination.
