Description
Summary:At the beginning of the 20th century, the authorities of the Holy Office noticed a worrying increase in the number of complaints and prosecutions for the crime of solicitation. This situation and the need to update the regulatory norms relating to the matter contained in the 1741 Constitution - Sacramentum Poenitentiæ marked the start of the process that, stemming from its origins in the 19th century, led to the 1922 Instruction Crimen sollicitationis. These stipulations would regulate crimes of a sexual nature subject to the competence of the Holy Office. The purpose of this article is to present this Instruction which, addressed to local Ordinaries, regulated in detail the process for addressing a crime that at the time seriously afflicted the Church and, while contemplating other delicts, included for the first time within the competence of the Holy Office sexual crimes committed by clerics against prepubescent children.
