Bad Laws and Crimen Sollicitatonis (Main Forum)

by James, Australia, Friday, April 20, 2012, 12:32 (399 days ago) @ Roy

Roy,

The summary of the situation in Wikipedia seems to be correct, if you read the historical introduction to the motu propio Sacrementorum Sanctatis Tutela (2001).


http://www.vatican.va/resources/resources_introd-storica_en.html

The change that the motu proprio made was to require all complaints to be sent to Cardinal Ratzinger's congregation in the Vatican, and then he would instruct the bishop what to do. In the past, these complaints were dealt with at a diocesan level. As the Introduction points out Crimen Sollicitudinis was continued to be used at the diocesan level until the changes were made in the 2001 Motu Proprio. HOwever, as you will recall, that Motu Proprio specifically required and reinforced "pontifical secrecy" on any such information.

I wouldn't be bothered putting a translator on any of these documents. These translators are notoriously bad, but in any event, there are official Vatican English translations of them - and in the official English versions, they are damning.
