Abstract

640
Normae de gravioribus delictis, the new Church legislation on offenses reserved to the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, published on May 21, 2010, compiles the accumulated legal experience of recent years, defining the offenses over which the Congregation has competence, and establishes the procedural route to be followed in judicial processes. This article examines the development of such processes in the diocesan and Roman phases, in both the administrative and judicial channels. Certain issues that arise from the application of the rules –preliminary investigation, right to defence, publicity, cooperation with civil authorities, and compensation for damages– are also addressed.
