Description
Summary:"On December 19, 2009 Pope Benedict XVI granted the Congregation for the Evangelization Peoples special faculties for resolving cases involving requests for dispensation from clerical obligations for priests and deacons of mission dioceses and members of Societies of Apostolic Life for missio ad gentes that depend on the Congregation. The faculties enable the Congregation to address promptly serious cases of scandalous behavior by clerics that call for an urgent decision. The faculties provide additional means not available in the Code of Canon Law to resolve grave violations of clerical celibacy or situations where clerics have abandoned their ministry for an extended period of time."
