| Summary: | A major superior of a pontifical women's religious institute imposed a penal precept on a member. The member appealed the decision to the Congregation for Institutes of Consecrated Life and Societies of Apostolic Life. The superior's decision was not upheld since the power of governance (cc. 129 § 1 and 134 § 1) can be exercised only by those Sacred Orders. The precept was revoked. The superior then imposed an obedience on the same member in virtue of the vow of abedience. The member sought recourse from CICLSAL against the decision. Below is the Congegation's response. |
