  • Nature and Peculiarities of the Briefer Process Before the Bishop
    Nature and peculiarities of the briefer process before the Bishop Msgr. Alejandro W. BUNGE CLSA, October 13th, 2020 Introduction The legislative initiative of Pope Francis to renew the special procedural law that governs the process to declare the nullity of marriage1 came at an opportune time. The simplification and speed up of the process was requested by the Bishops of the whole world, and the III Extraordinary General Assembly of the Synod of Bishops asked “the possibility of determining an administrative path under the responsibility of the diocesan bishop”, and also “a summary process to be initiated in cases of self-evident nullity” 2. While the first of these proposals has not been accepted, thus preserving the judicial procedure for the declaration of nullity, “not because it is imposed by the nature of the thing, but rather by the need to protect the truth of the sacred bond to the utmost degree”3, the second one was accepted by the Holy Father, establishing the process we are now presenting. This new process to declare the nullity of marriage, called the “briefer marriage process before the Bishop”4, which is added and does not overlap or merge with existing ones (the ordinary and the documentary), is what likely arouses most curiosity, not just for the novelty, but also and perhaps especially because its decision is entitled to the Bishop. The name itself entails the mission of the new process (brevior) making it clear that even the ordinary process to declare the nullity of marriage has been simplified and streamlined compared to the existing process before December the 8th, this new process, then, is to be intended not only to speed up the treatment of nullity cases, but also as the right tool to respond to those faithful who find themselves in the particular circumstance of an evident case of nullity, and at the same time, with an easily and irrefutable proven 1 FRANCIS, Litt.

I entrust to Our Lady of Africa and to the saints of this beloved continent the Church that dwells there” (AM No 114). From the time of the early Church, Africa has been richly blessed with many great saints, including three of the Early Fathers of the Church, Saints Augustine, Cyril of Alexandria and Cyprian. There have also been great women saints from that period, among them, St Monica, the mother of St Augustine, as well as many brave martyrs, including Saints Perpetua and Felicity. In more recent times Africa has given the Church additional outstanding saints and martyrs, such St Josephine Bakhita, a slave girl from Sudan, and the Ugandan martyrs, St Charles Lwanga and his twenty-two companions.

The purpose of this ceremony was the official declaration by the Catholic Church that one of its members from that area, Tshimangadzo Samuel Benedict Daswa, a member of the small Lemba tribe living among the Vendas, would henceforth be honoured as a Martyr for the Faith with the title, “Blessed”.

    Transformation of society through ordinary People Often when we are asked the question to name some great saints that changed the world we easily rhyme of St Francis of Assisi, St Ignatius of Loyola, St Thomas Aquinas, St Augustine, we might even mention a few women saints like St. Teresa of Avila, St Teresa of Calcutta or St Clare. And indeed, these are great saints for many reasons. I invite us to think of other great contemporary men and women, whose names may not roll of our tongues but who have made a tremendous contribution to the transformation of modern-day society. I love to think of these people because they impacted so deeply the lives of the poor and the marginalised. There they touched the wounds of Christ. They courageously acted against the status quo and being so rooted in Christ and His love for His people they sacrificed personal gain and their own human needs for recognition, intimacy, comfort, acceptance, among other needs. They chose to take upon themselves a share in the life of the Crucified Christ. These great modern-day saints didn’t do any extraordinary things. Their greatness lies in their faith, rooted in Christ, who in responding to His call worked to change their world. It was their fidelity to listen to and follow the heartbeat of Christ in serving humanity that made them great. I mention three such people, Joseph Moscati, Dorothy Day and Benedict Daswa. None of them ever left their own hometown or country. None of them were religious. Rather 2 they lived and worked and were transformed from within themselves, and through their inner conversion they transformed their societies and the people they lived among.
