| Summary: | The sacramental seal and penitential secret are two key issues concerning the deontology of the ministry of penitence. Its nature, matter, foundation and relation with other canons of Canon Law lead to understand the reason why the Church, through legal channels, is concerned about conserving and defending them under full compromise. From the canons analyzed, it can be seen that the sacramental seal is inviolable as well as being permanent and everlasting. Nobody, except the penitent, can authorize a priest to reveal what he has heard in confession under sacramental absolution. For this reason, the maximum protection of the confidential relation between the priest and the faithful is defended under confessional laws, and not only by the Catholic Church. Moreover, the violation of both the seal and the secret are crimes with a canonical sanction, and which will be imposed in accordance to the seriousness of the crime committed. El sigilo sacramental y el secreto penitencial son dos figuras claves de la deontología del ministro de la penitencia. La naturaleza, materia, fundamentación y relación con otros cánones del Derecho canónico nos llevan a entender por qué la Iglesia, por la vía jurídica, pretende conservarlos y defenderlos con el máximo compromiso. En los cánones analizados se advierte que el sigilo sacramental es inviolable y, además, permanente y perpetuo. Nadie puede autorizar al sacerdote a revelar lo que oyó en confesión en orden a la absolución sacramental, excepto el penitente. De ahí que la protección máxima de la relación confidencial entre sacerdote y fiel esté protegida en los derechos confesionales, no sólo en la Iglesia Católica. Y la violación del sigilo y del secreto son delitos que están condenados por penas canónicas exigentes según el grado en los que fueron cometidos. |
