| Summary: | Pope Francis has established an Extraordinary Jubilee of Mercy, during which all are invited to receive the gift of God's mercy, and to extend a similar mercy to others. Jesus is the misericordiae vultus Patris, and the Church is the misericordiae vultus Christi. The entire existence of the Church must reflect mercy; all its ministries and activities must reveal the misericordiae vultus Ecclesiae. This study intends to identify many elements of the Church's penal law which manifest clearly its unique character—a character which reflects the merciful face of the Church, which mirrors the merciful countenance of Jesus, who is the misericordiae vultus Patris. Le pape François a proclamé le Jubilé extraordinaire de la miséricorde, pendant lequel nous sommes tous conviés à recevoir le don de la miséricorde divine et à communiquer un don analogue aux autres. Jésus est le misericordiae vultus Patris et l'Église est le misericordiae vultus Christi. L'existence entière de l'Église doit refléter la miséricorde. Tous ses ministères et ses activités doivent révéler le misericordiae vultus Ecclesiae. Cette étude vise à dégager plusieurs éléments du droit pénal de l'Église qui manifestent clairement son caractère unique — un caractère qui reflète le visage miséricordieux de l'Église, lequel, à son tour, nous renvoie l'image miséricordieuse de Jésus, qui, lui-même, est le misericordiae vultus Patris. |
