Book excerpt: With the promulgation of the motu proprio Mitus iudex Dominus Jesus for the Latin Church and the motu proprio Mitis et misericors Jesus for the Eastern Catholic Churches, both dated August 15, 2015, Pope Francis addressed the calls during the Third Extraordinary General Assembly of the Synod of Bishops (October 5-19, 2014) for a simplified procedure for the declaration of the nullity of marriages. Pope Francis introduced a briefer process to be conducted by the diocesan bishop and he simplified the current ordinary nullity process. The new procedural norms went into effect on December 8, 2015. New legislation always challenges first and foremost the practitioner: how is the new legislation to be understood and applied? Immediately after the new law was made public, a number of articles on this new legislation were published in The Jurist. The School of Canon Law of The Catholic University of America organized a March 2016 Workshop on the very topic of this important procedural reform. These articles are now brought together in one volume to assist those who work with these norms in the various tribunals dealing with marriage cases. It is hoped that this volume will be of great service to all those who serve the people of God in the ministry of justice, and that these contributions will truly be a help in understanding and applying the new norms.
Download or read book Religion and Legal Pluralism written by Russell Sandberg and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-03-09 with total page 301 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent years, there have been a number of concerns about the recognition of religious laws and the existence of religious courts and tribunals. There has also been the growing literature on legal pluralism which seeks to understand how more than one legal system can and should exist within one social space. However, whilst a number of important theoretical works concerning legal pluralism in the context of cultural rights have been published, little has been published specifically on religion. Religion and Legal Pluralism explores the extent to which religious laws are already recognised by the state and the extent to which religious legal systems, such as Sharia law, should be accommodated.

Download or read book The Declaration of Absence of the Respondent in Marriage Nullity Trials written by Juan R. Esposito-Garcia and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 183 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of the marriage nullity process is to discover whether the marriage under review is or is not a valid marriage. Since it is primarily the parties who provide the tribunal with the information needed to determine the truth about the marriage in question, the participation of both the petitioner and the respondent in the process is critically important. Although the law is clear that respondents who refuse to participate in the trial can legitimately be declared absent (c. 1592), it is not clear about what tribunals can legitimately do when confronted with respondents who indicate an initial willingness to participate in the process but whose actual participation is obstructive. Cases with obstructive respondents pose a real challenge to the normal flow of the marriage annulment process, often causing great delays in the resolution of the case and unnecessary tensions among all those involved in the process. The dissertation is a juridical study of the canonical institute of the declaration of absence in the 1983 Code of Canon Law and the instruction Dignitas connubii. The dissertation contributes to canonical studies by examining whether and in what circumstances the norms in both the code and the instruction regarding the declaration of absence of the respondent can be legitimately applied to the situation of the obstructive respondent in marriage nullity trials. Chapter I examines the norms in the 1983 Code and the 2005 instruction Dignitas connubii on the declaration of absence of the respondent. This examination is preceded by a brief analysis of the norms in the 1917 Code and the instruction Provida mater on the declaration of contumacy of the respondent. Chapter II examines the norms in the 1983 Code and the instruction Dignitas connubii on selected procedural acts in the contentious marriage annulment process where the respondent's non-cooperation might surface. Chapter III examines whether and under what circumstances, in light of the norms of the 1983 Code, the instruction Dignitas connubii, and current canonical literature, the canonical provisions on the declaration of absence of the respondent can be legitimately applied to the situation of the obstructive respondent in marriage nullity trials.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Father Ignacio Gordon, SJ, taught canon law (the Catholic Church’s law) from 1960 until 1985 at the Pontifical Gregorian University in Rome, with a concentration on procedural law, or the laws on trials. By all testimonies, he was outstanding for the clarity of his teaching, his humble affection for his students, his indefatigable and hidden service to the Apostolic See, and his priestly zeal. Notable among his endeavors was an educational initiative for the ongoing formation of judges and other ministers of justice in ecclesiastical tribunals. In his teaching, he stressed the ecclesial importance and supernatural implications of procedural law in general, and the indispensability of the judicial protection of marriage in particular. Special efforts were made to make procedural law understandable to his students and to canonists in general, at a time when the Church was celebrating and implementing the teachings of the Second Vatican Ecumenical Council, as a result of which her law was undergoing a major revision. Father Gordon taught from the consistent canonical tradition, while also laying bare the latest developments in law and jurisprudence. He taught the entirety of the law on trials, producing numerous scholarly works on questions both timeless and new, giving marked emphasis to the problem of the excessive length of trials and the causes of delayed justice. An area of his particular attention and dedication was the Supreme Tribunal of the Apostolic Signatura—of which he was a consultor (referendary and later votans)—including both its proper law and its history. This history displayed, in part, why that Tribunal was the natural one to function as the supreme administrative tribunal of the Church. Father Gordon’s contribution to the question of ecclesiastical administrative justice was among those leading the novel and dynamic discussion about it in the 1960s and 1970s.

Download or read book What God Has Joined Together written by Robert H. Vasoli and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 1998 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The United States is home to only 6% of the world's Catholics, Robert Vasoli points out, but it now accounts for 75% of all Church annulments, two-thirds of which are granted on ostensibly psychological grounds. The real scandal, though, is not simply the numbers, but that Church marriage courts annul thousands of marriages that are actually valid according to Catholic teaching. Drawing on considerable research, the author details precisely how these courts let divorced Catholics - and many non-Catholics as well - bypass Catholic teaching and law. The result has been a tidal wave: in 1968, the American Church granted fewer than 600 annulments; today it hands out more than 60,000 a year. But Rome has not smiled on the performance of U.S. tribunals: of those psychological annulments appealed to the Roman Rota (the Vatican's highest marriage tribunal), more than 90% are overturned.
