5. The Roman Catholic ecclesiastical authority shall alone have the right to appoint the place in the cemetery in which persons of such faith shall be buried, and, if the deceased, according to the canon rules and laws, in the judgment of the ordinary, may not be interred in ground consecrated by the liturgical prayers of such religion, he shall receive civil burial in ground reserved for that purpose and adjacent to the cemetery.
