| Summary: | «In various regions of the world the crisis facing the sacrament of penance is due in part to unwarranted interpretations of what constitutes the conditions of the gravis necessitas envisioned by the Church» (John Paul II). The article wishes to contribute to the clarification of the conditions of this necessity: a) by considering the evolution of the communitarian absolution outside the danger of death; b) by explaining the theological conditions required for the valid application of this form of absolution; c) by illustrating the obligations binding the penitent after the absolution; d) by commenting on the other pastoral norms that are brought to it. We have treated each of these points in turn: a) the progressive interventions of the Apostolic Penitentiary, the Congregations for Bishops and for the Doctrine of the Faith, and the Code of Canon Law; b) a description of «grave necessity» and the three simultaneous circumstances which constitute it, especially the significance of the adverb "diu" (for a long time); c) the dispositions required of the penitent by divine and ecclesiastical law for receiving general or communitarian absolution and satisfying the remaining obligations; d) the pastoral norms for protecting the correct application of general or communitarian absolution. |
