Changes to Roman Canon Law

Necessary? Or do they reinforce an untenable thesis concerning ecclesial authority, especially the authority of the bishop of Rome in relation to other bishops? Why should such rules be created by one man alone, rather than through a synod? Because of Latin ecclesiology.

VATICAN--Pope Francis has issued changes to the Catholic Church's Canonical Laws, in the chapter specific to penalties and punishments.

Here is his accompanied statement, issued originally in Latin, Italian, German and Spanish.

By the apostolic constitution Pascite gregem Dei, today @Pontifex has issued a revised Book VI of the Code of #CanonLaw. The new law comes into effect on 8 December. The English translation of the new canons is here: https://t.co/9umMMd5fXd

Updated Can. 1379§4 (effective Dec 8) A person who deliberately administers a sacrament to those who are prohibited from receiving it is to be punished with suspension.

This is huge

The Secretary of the Pontifical Council for Legislative Texts says the Pope's Apostolic Constitution "Pascite gregem Dei" gives Bishops adequate means to prevent and punish crimes that are perpetrated in the Church.https://t.co/5NhU7zpT5E

When today's Pillar Post says "White Claw is the official summer drink of The Pillar," we need to be clear that neither @canonlawyered nor I endorse this decision.

"Ecumenism"

I cant help but think this was bad manners. A protest. female bishop was invited to a Cath. ordination and in her thank you remarks demands ordination for Catholic women. Afterwards perhaps but not at the ceremony. #theology https://t.co/REQtCAz8t3
