Emil Svažić ; Theology of Rijeka, Dislocated Studies of Catholic Faculty of Theology, University of Zagreb, Rijeka, Croatia

Abstract

The author presents in brief the essential points of the penal law and prosecution in the Church, as an introductory starting point for a better understanding of a field which lately is of a great interest. After an introductory section regarding the reform of the penal law in the Church, reflected in the new Codex of the Canon Law, the author elucidates the key topics of the punishable deed (delict) and the penal measure (penalty). Further, the following themes are developed: types of penalties, subject liable to penalty, application, duration and cessation of penalties. Finally, some penalties in particular delicts are enumerated, according to categories of such acts. The last chapter is dedicated to the trials in the Church, which can be administrative or judiciary.
