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.

New dependencies in relation to the ability to issue a valid matrimonial consent

ABSTRACT: This article identifies and outlines the new addictions or psychiatric disorders that, whilst not deriving from the abuse of substances, still manages to make a person incapable of self-determination and make free and mature decisions. In recent years, the psychological distress in which many people find themselves living is taking on specific characteristics and is affected by social and cultural elements that make the process of developing emotional-affective skills, the possibility of having a certain identity and the achievement of stable balances very hard. To the already known pathologies are therefore added new ones often associated with borderline-narcissistic personality disorders; drug-free addictions are to be counted among the psychiatric disorders in which social, cultural, economic and psychological elements emerge. Those elements make these new problems interesting and relevant in the present-day but also difficult to insert into certain diagnostic frames.

The exclusion of bonum prolis in the latest rotal jurisprudence

ABSTRACT: After having clarified the basis of the exclusion of bonum prolis and delineated the nature and content of the right/duty to marital acts suitable for procreation, the article explains the classic distinction between law and the exercise of the law, and on the presumptions elaborated in this matter by rotal jurisprudence. This is followed by an examination, conducted in the light of the doctrine of responsible procreation, of some peculiar cases of exclusion and use of artificial insemination; finally, the article focuses on the proofs needed. This research is based on recent unpublished rotal jurisprudence.

The extension of the procedural role of the Judicial Vicar in the “system” of the Mitis iudex

ABSTRACT: In the MIDI system, the centrality of the Bishop is also associated with the strengthening of the role of the Judicial Vicar, especially in the introductory and executive phase. This contribution examines first of all the identification of the minister and the possible extension of the introductory powers to the Assistant Judicial Vicars, and then dwells on the function of discernment and orientation of the procedural form. The duties relating to each procedural mode (ordinary, abbreviated and documentary) are then specifically and analytically outlined. The analysis ends with possible appeals against the initial measures and the determination of the attributions between the interdiocesan and diocesan Judicial Vicar, especially with reference to the processus brevior. The training and responsibility of the Judicial Vicar is crucial to ensure the proper implementation of the reform.

Procedural novelties regarding marriage nullity and canonical jurisdiction

ABSTRACT: The purpose of the essay is to investigate the changes made to the discipline of the canonical process of marriage nullity by the Motu Proprio “Mitis Iudex Dominus Iesus”, in an attempt to verify whether the reform - which, as we know, has foreseen, among the other novelties, a shorter trial before the Bishop, and the elimination of the double sentence in conformity - both in line with the imprint proper to the canonical jurisdiction. In this perspective, the study will be dedicated to the historical reconstruction of the Processus brevior coram Episcopo and of the institute of the c.d. double sentence in conformity, at the end of which it seems possible to point out that the devolution to the Bishop of a shorter judgment - and the consequent reduction of the procedural forms - should not have undermined the cardinal principles of canonical jurisdiction.

Reflections on marriage nullity proceedings in the context of the Italian exequatur procedure

ABSTRACT: The obligation to request the exequatur of the ecclesiastical sentence of marriage nullity, foreseen by the art. 60 of the General decree on the canonical matrimony of the CEI, constitutes in Italy a legal duty for the faithful who determines, for judges and lawyers, a corresponding moral duty (but which for lawyers can also become legal, under the professional mandate) of collaboration, during the various prejudicial and judicial phases of the canonical proceedings, in acquiring and making available all the useful elements in view of a exequatur procedure.

Dignitas connubii and marriages of Non-Catholics. An achievement to be maintained, improved and complemented

Abstract: The instruction Dignitas connubii of 2005, Art 2-4, deals with marriages, in which one or both parts are non-Catholic - whether baptized or not. This is a great progress initiated by the Second Vatican Council, even if there still are some omissions and ambiguities in the regulations. Since 2005, some jurisprudential experience could be gained and further official documents concerning non-Catholic marriages have been issued. They are mainly dealing with Orthodox Christians and are dedicated to the recognition of matrimonial sentences, the determination of formal defects and competence issues. Mitis iudex does not mention anything concerning this topic but in case a new instruction should be made now, the named Articles would have to be maintained, improved and complemented.

The exercise of the judicial power by the lay faithful through the prism of Potestas gubernandi in Ecclesia. Theological and canonical solicitations for an “outgoing Church”

ABSTRACT: The more than thirty years since the II Vatican Council and the recent procedural reforms initiated by Pope Francis make very topical a reflection on the actual role that lay faithful can exercise within the Church. In particular, by virtue of the Sacrament of Baptism, that makes everyone “sons in the Son”, it seems ecclesiologically inconceivable that lay faithful can still suffer limitations from the point of view of participation in judicial power, especially in perspective of a now-acquired theory of potestas sacra, which, altough it all comes from God, does not require, for each office, the Sacrament of holy Order. The requirements of technical preparation and knowledge of law, the only parameters on which the ecclesiastical authority must be based on the choiche of the judges, impose a re-updating of the can. 1421, § 2, C.i.c. This norm is the only one that deals, in a very limited way, with the figure of the lay judge. Just the recent reform of Mitis Iudex Dominus Iesus, also considering the synodal context in which it has born, would be well matched with an inclusive re-evaluation of the lay faithful in exercise of a ministeriality which is nothing but a concrete expression of the participation to the only mission of the which all the People of God must become executor through the times.

The convictions of the spouses on the validity of marriage: incidences on the process

ABSTRACT: The trial reforms introduced by the present Pontificate and the emanation of the Apostolic Exhortation ‘Amoris Laetitia’, in respect of the criterion of “graduality” that inspires the itinerary of the “Church in exit” traced by Pope Francis, do not bring substantial novelty about how “to discern” the convictions of the parties on the validity of marriage. They put into effect, nevertheless, a change of perspective, or rather a different point of view from which to consider these convictions, while still respecting the declarative nature of the nullity judgments, as distinct from legal and pastoral directives on possible epikeia solutions.

“Si appellatio mere dilatoria evidenter appareat”: some considerations on the sidelines of cann. 1682, § 2 and 1687, § 4 C.i.c. after the motu proprio Mitis Iudex Dominus Iesus

ABSTRACT: The paper aims to analyze the problems underlying the clause that states “si appellatio mere dilatoria evidenter appareat”, introduced with the Motu proprio “Mitis Iudex Dominus Iesus” with whom Pope Francis has reformed the processes of marriage nullity in 2015. Beyond the mere terminologic matter, which has also committed the doctrine, given the imperfect clarity of the terms of which the clause is composed, what is at stake is the right of appeal granted to the losing party following a decision “pro nullitate matrimonii”. Legislative innovation must be lowered whithin a broader field of reform, where it’s called to interface with the background of ordinary process and of the new processus brevior, that has the primary goal to chase after the speed-up of processes. The risk of subjectivism in which the judges could fall, focusing on the mere intentions of the appellant subject or on the simple reasons given, and not giving rise to a complete judgment where to reach moral certainty, should be avoided in order to safeguard the aspiration of justice that canon law can not not have, and that precise connotations in terms of faith have only to contribute increasing.
