The transition from the marriage nullity case to dissolution of non-consummated marriage procedure according to can. 1678, § 4 *

ABSTRACT: The Motu proprio Mitis Iudex Dominus Iesus has simplified the transition from a marriage nullity case in progress to that of dissolution of non-consummated procedure: it is no more required that the parties consent to but that they be heard. After a brief historical excursus on the subject, starting from the Pius-Benedictine Code, the study aims, first, at understanding the underlying rationale of the new provision of canon 1678 § 4, and then at exploring the concrete ways in which it is to be applied, especially in the event of disagreement between the parties on the transition. Finally, on the basis of the praxis of the Tribunal of the Roman Rota, de iure condendo a proposal is made.

SUMMARY: 1. The Church and the technological revolution - 2. Digital family and "liquid" relationships - 2.1 Internet and social networks: "knowledge" of young couples and marriage celebration - 3. Internet, new technologies and "digital" evidence in the process for matrimonial nullity - 4. Has the time come for the remote canonical process? - 5. Conclusions.

ABSTRACT: The article proposes to deepen the role of digital technologies' effects on religious culture and on canonical substantive and procedural matrimonial law. The family is confronted with the digital revolution and the cyberfamily represents a demanding challenge also for the Catholic Church, which has always been committed to fostering solid relationships that unfold along existential projects that allow the opening to generativity and oblativity. Starting from the profiles related to its genesis, passing through the celebration and up to the couple's crisis and the judicial intervention, the family - and the law - has to deal with the new technologies and with the "network". The article explores the relationship between marriage nullity and digital technology with regard to the evidence system of the canonical process and presents a proposal for a "protocol", also considering some experiences emerged in the pandemic period, for the remote execution of the sessions of a canonical process of marriage nullity.

The Status of Oriental Catholics in Germany. A current challenge for the coordination of the two Codes

ABSTRACT: According to an estimate by the Secretariat of the German Bishops' Conference, about 200,000 members of fourteen different Eastern Catholic Churches currently live in Germany. A first large migratory wave with a lasting impact up to today emerged with members of the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church in the first decades of the 20th century. Lately, due to migration from Syria and Iraq starting in 2015, a larger number of Eastern Catholics - estimated by some in the five-digit range - have arrived in Germany. The change brought about by migration poses new challenges for pastoral care and canon law in Germany. The Ukrainians have their own jurisdiction in the form of an Apostolic Exarchy. All other Oriental Catholics have been entrusted to local Latin ordinaries by a decree of the Congregation for the Oriental Churches according to can. 916, § 5, CCEO. Therefore, the solution of many legal questions requires a synopsis of both codes. Do Latin parish priests have the authority to celebrate marriages for Oriental couples per se? To which church do children from a mixed marriage belong? The motu proprio De concordia inter Codices did not answer all questions and has also brought new ones.

1 - Recentemente, prendendo spunto dalla mia ultima monografia in cui enumero ed esamino criticamente una significativa ‘campionatura’ tra i copiosissimi provvedimenti normativi di papa Francesco, è insorto - sulle pagine di una rinomata rivista - un garbato e acuto confronto dialettico tra due colleghi in ordine al tema se il romano pontefice regnante sia un legislatore ‘paziente’ o piuttosto alquanto ‘impaziente’. Proprio sulla base dei dati oggettivi relativi specie alla produzione legislativa e alle ‘modalità’ con cui sono concretamente perseguiti gli ‘intenti riformatori del pontificato’ descritti nella mia rassegna (corredata, d’altronde, della citazione di numerose e puntuali analisi dottrinali), si è sostenuto, infatti, come sia assai arduo perorare che l’immagine restituitaci del legislatore supremo risulti quella di “un saggio cunctator (temporeggiatore)”, artefice “del metodo del discernimento e della gradualità”, secondo quanto, con la consueta perspicuità, argomenta Salvatore Berlingò.

Still on the patient or impatient legislator

ABSTRACT: A brief comment on the recent Motu Proprio that was promulgated by Pope Francis - with which a Commission is established in order to verify the application in Italy of the reform of the canonical process regarding the nullity of marriage - offers the opportunity to express an opinion in the debate that has arisen between two illustrious colleagues about the figure of the reigning Roman Pontiff as supreme legislator.

1 - Papa Francesco interviene ancora una volta sull'attuazione della riforma dei processi matrimoniali disposta con il motu proprio Mitis Iudex Dominus Iesus, a quasi sei anni dalla sua entrata in vigore. E lo fa, ancora una volta, con modalità inusuali e imprevedibili, tali da suscitare sorpresa e sconcerto nei più diretti destinatari di tale intervento. Ci troviamo infatti di fronte a un motu proprio, emanato il 17 novembre 2021, che istituisce una “Commissione Pontificia di verifica e applicazione del m. p. Mitis Iudex nelle Chiese d'Italia” (segue).

No peace for the Italian regional ecclesiastical courts

ABSTRACT: Some critical remarks about a recent Pope Francesco’s motu proprio are presented, in which he calls for a more complete implementation of the reform of the matrimonial process which he has ordered with the appointment of a special pontifical commission to verify the application of the new provisions in the Italian Churches.

ABSTRACT: The article is the resumé of a speech originally delivered to the members of the Arcisodalizio della Curia Romana. It examines the canonical discipline in matrimonial case as it is contained in m.p. Mitis Iudex, by pope Francis, with whom the Pontiff has reformed the discipline of the canonical process in matrimonial cases. The author explaines the new discipline, compares it with the old one replaced, and discuss the points that seem to be problematic, proposing possible solutions in the light of the Roman Rota Jurisprudence of recent times.

Reflections on ignorantia in re matrimoniali: a canon still relevant?

ABSTRACT: The paper examines the origin of the canon on ignorantia in re matrimoniali, introduced by the 1917 Code of Canon Law, comparing it with the psychological presuppositions of scholastic doctrine that inspire the canonical discipline on matrimonial consent and with the consolidated principles in the canonical tradition about the relevance of the lack of debita cognitio in the spouses. Given that the canon has been preserved in the current legislation, critical remarks are raised regarding the consistency with the conception of matrimonial consent as an act of the person, and it is proposed to change the approach of the case of invalidity, from defectus cognitionis to defectus discretionis iudicii.

Challenges presented by the conversion of justice in the Church in the light of m.p. Mitis Iudex Dominus Iesus

ABSTRACT: In these pages I will try to show that the motive leading to the reform of the m.p. Mitis Iudex and the recovered centrality of the Bishop judge are questions that should not be limited exclusively to the processes of marriage nullity, since they are so important that they go beyond these procedural limits; on the contrary, they should project their influence not only on the norms that regulate the ordinary processes but also on the very organization of justice in the Church. The conversion of justice that the Roman Pontiff has initiated with the m.p. Mitis Iudex, therefore, involves the rest of the causes and canonical procedural law itself.
