Description
Summary:Pope Francis promulgated two almost parallel Apostolic Letters, one for the Latin Church (Mitis Iudex Dominus Iesus) the other for the Eastern Churches (Mitis et Misericors Iesus) on 15 September 2015 and they came into effect on 8 December 2015. These two Apostolic Letters were promulgated in direct response to the call by the 2014 Synod of Bishops to revise the canons on procedural norms governing marriage nullity process. The article reviews the impact the motu proprio Mitis et Misericors Iesus has created on the Syro-Malabar Church in terms of increase in the marriage nullity cases registered and the number of cases resolved as per the statistical data supplied by the tribunals of the Syro-Malabar Church. The article begins with a short appraisal of the current situation of the Syro-Malabar Church in its historical perspective and gives a critical evaluation on the newly introduced structure based both on personal study and shared concerns of other canonists.
Lettera apostolica Mitis et misericors lesus e il suo impatto sui tribunali della Chiesa siro-malabarese. Il 15 settembre 2015 Papa Francesco promulgò simultaneamente due Lettere Apostoliche parallele, una per la Chiesa Latina (Mitis Iudex Dominus Iesus), l'altra per le Chiese orientali (Mitis et Misericors Iesus). Ambedue queste lettere, entrate in vigore l '8 dicembre 2015, costituiscono una riposta diretta alla proposta del Sinodo dei Vescovi del 2014 a rivedere i canoni sulla procedura di nullità matrimoniale. L'articolo analizza l'impatto del motu proprio Mitis et Misericors Iesus sulla Chiesa siro-malabarese per quanto riguarda l'aumento delle cause di nullità matrimoniale e la crescita del numero di cause risolte, come risulta dai dati statistici forniti dai tribunali della Chiesa siro-malabarese. Dopo un breve abbozzo della situazione attuale della Chiesa siro-malabarese dal punto di vista storico, l'articolo fa una valutazione critica delle nuove strutture procedurali introdotte, basata sullo studio personale nonché sulle osservazioni di altri canonisti.
