| Summary: | "This entry concerns the non-penal removal of a pastor from office. Of particular concern was to document efforts to resolve the issue with the pastor without resorting to canonical measures. After persuasion failed, the bishop initiated the procedure outlined in cc. 1742-1747. The priest petitioned the bishop to reconsider his decision. The bishop believed his decision to seek the pastor's removal was for the "good of the Church" and refused. The priest sought recourse to the Congregation for Clergy. In the Congregation's response, it referred to canon 57, which sets a three months' time limit to submit supporting evidence for recourse. The Congregation acted promptly after the three month period expired. Canons 1734-1737 set the specific deadlines that apply to recourse on the diocesan level." |
