What Is The Difference?

Ave Maria!

I hope someone could tell me what is the difference, and as well its pros and cons between being:

[b]temporary professed with a solemn vow[/b] and
[color=#0000ff][b]perpetually professed with solemn vow[/b][/color][b]?[/b]

Thanks in advanced...

There is no such thing as the above, [i]Canon 607 states: §1 Religious life, as a consecration of the whole person, manifests in the Church the marvelous marriage established by God as a sign of the world to come. Religious thus consummate a full gift of themselves as a sacrifice offered to God, so that their whole existence becomes a continuous worship of God in charity.[/i]

[i]§2 A religious institute is a society in which, in accordance with their own law, the members pronounce public vows and live a fraternal life in common. The vows are either perpetual or temporary; if the latter, they are to be renewed when the time elapses.[/i]

[i]§3 The public witness which religious are to give to Christ and the Church involves that separation from the world which is proper to the character and purpose of each institute. [/i]

A distinction was made in the 1917 Code between solemn vows and simple vows. The former were made by members of Orders the latter by members of congregations.Any act contrary to a solemn vow was invalid, while any act contrary to a simple vow was illicit, but not necessarily invalid. The present Code, in Canon 1192 retains the terms"[i] §1 A vow is public if it is accepted in the name of the Church by a lawful Superior; otherwise, it is private. §2 It is solemn if it is recognised by the Church as such; otherwise, it is simple."[/i]
but the distinction no longer has any juridical significance. The evangelical counsels constitute the content of the vows.
