Description
Summary:This article seeks to view the Special Faculties given to the Congregation for the Clergy by Pope Benedict XVI in the wider context of similar procedural derogations granted to other dicasteries of the Holy See since the promulgation of the new Code, and to consider them in the light of their principle purpose, namely the good of souls and the good ordering of the ecclesiastical community. It examines the notable distinctions between the three faculties, their nature and the import of the derogations in question. It also touches upon some questions that prompt further reflection beyond the scope of this article, such as the principle of subsidiarity in ecclesiastical penal law and the relationship between the three aims of the Church's penal system as set out in c. 1341.
Cet article propose d’inscrire les facultés spéciales accordées à la Congrégation pour le clergé par le pape Benoit XVI dans le contexte plus large des dérogations procédurales semblables qui sont accordées à d’autres dicastères du Saint-Siège depuis la promulgation du nouveau Code. L’article examine les dérogations en question à la lumière de leurs objectifs premiers, soit le bien des âmes et le bon ordonnancement de la communauté ecclésiastique. Il traite des distinctions les plus remarquables que l’on peut établir entre les trois facultés, leur nature et l’importance de ces dérogations. L’A. soulève également certaines questions qui nous invitent à porter la réflexion au-delà du propos de son article, notamment le principe de subsidiarité en droit pénal ecclésiastique et les relations que l’on peut établir entre les trois objectifs du système pénal de l’Église, tels qu’ils sont énoncés au c. 1341.
