  • The Brussels Capital Region's Action for Annulment of the Commission's Implementing Regulation Renewing the Approval Of
    Court of Justice of the European Union PRESS RELEASE No 150/20 Luxembourg, 3 December 2020 Judgment in Case C-352/19 P Press and Information Région de Bruxelles-Capitale v Commission The Brussels Capital Region’s action for annulment of the Commission’s Implementing Regulation renewing the approval of the active substance ‘glyphosate’ is inadmissible It has not shown that it was directly and individually concerned by that decision On 8 March 2018, the Brussels Capital Region, Belgium, brought an action before the General Court of the European Union seeking the annulment of Commission Implementing Regulation 2017/2324 1 renewing the approval of the active substance ‘glyphosate’. By Decree of 10 November 2016, the Brussels Capital Region had prohibited the use of pesticides containing glyphosate. By the order under appeal before the Court of Justice, 2 the General Court had declared the action for annulment inadmissible for lack of standing to bring proceedings. More specifically, the Court ruled that the Brussels Capital Region was not directly concerned by the contested regulation. By its appeal, the Brussels Capital Region asks the Court to set aside the order under appeal, declare the action for annulment admissible and refer the case back to the General Court. In today’s judgment, the Court recalls, first of all, that an action by a local or regional entity must satisfy the conditions of admissibility laid down in the fourth paragraph of Article 263 TFEU which makes the admissibility of an action brought by a natural or legal person against a decision which is not addressed to him or her subject to the condition that the decision is of direct and individual concern to that person or, if it is a regulatory act, that that act is of direct concern to that person and that the regulatory act does not entail implementing measures.

  • Pope Francis Grants Plenary Indulgence to Catholics Marking Guadalupe Feast at Home
    Pope Francis grants plenary indulgence to Catholics marking Guadalupe feast at home Pope Francis has granted a plenary indulgence to Catholics celebrating the Feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe at home this Saturday. Cardinal Carlos Aguiar Retes announced the pope’s decision following a Dec. 6 Mass at the Basilica of Our Lady of Guadalupe in Mexico City, reported ACI Prensa, CNA’s Spanish- language news partner. “The situation of the pandemic forced us, for the sake of everyone’s life, to keep the Guadalupe complex closed from Dec. 10 to Dec. 13, and therefore the celebrations of Our Mother, instead of coming here to her house, she wants to go to your house,” he said. The Primate of Mexico offered further details in a letter dated Dec. 7. He explained that in order to receive the indulgence -- which the Catechism of the Catholic Church defines as “a remission before God of the temporal punishment due to sins whose guilt has already been forgiven” -- Catholics must fulfill certain conditions. First, they must prepare a home altar or other place of prayer in honor of Our Lady of Guadalupe. Second, they must view a livestreamed or televised Mass of Our Lady of Guadalupe on Dec. 12 “with devotion and with exclusive attention to the Eucharist.” Third, they must meet the three usual conditions for receiving a plenary indulgence - - sacramental confession, the reception of Holy Communion, and prayer for the pope’s intentions -- once it is possible to do so. Plenary indulgences remit all temporal punishment due to sin and must be accompanied by full detachment from sin.

  • Notes on Design and Suggested Use of the Schedules
    NOTES ON DESIGN AND SUGGESTED USE OF THE SCHEDULES In developing the first set of religious law classification schedules, KBR (History of Canon Law) and KBU (Law of the Roman Catholic Church. The Holy See), three principal tasks had to be accomplished: first, to carry out the mandates of the Advisory Committee on Library of Congress Law Classification which represents large outside LC user groups or cooperating institutions, without compromising LC’s own interests; secondly, to bring the new classes in harmony with the now century-old and widely used Library of Congress Classification (LCC) which already governs large collections, in particular the classes BR (Christianity), BX (Christian denominations), and BV (Practical Theology); and last, to develop Class KBR as a parallel class to KJA (Roman law), a subdivision of the LC subject classification for the Law of Europe, which served as the pattern for the civil law tables now applied to all civil law jurisdictions of the world, as represented in the LC Law Classification. 1. Applied classificatory techniques. Comparative classification patterns In principle, parallel classification, a technique tested in the most recent classification developments, was employed (1) to relate class numbers in the new schedules to number ranges in such areas of schedules BR, BX and KJA for careful recovery of materials from these older classes to which thy were referred by past practice without corrupting those classes , and (2) to provide a vehicle for local collection decisions in distribution of large sets of partially historic materials between the two new classes KBR and KBU. Therefore, the design of the new schedules had to relate to, or to correlate, content and number structure to the older schedules as much as possible, aided by extensive references.

THE CANON LAWYER AND THE LOCAL CHURCH REV. JOSEPH N. PERRY* INTRODUCTION Innovations and shifts in church order since the Second Vatican Ecu- menical Council (1962-1965) have created situations in which ordained and non-ordained members of the People of God necessarily interact more frequently. Especially at the level of the local diocese, new concep- tions of the cooperative relationship between the bishop and other mem- bers of the local church have been introduced by the weighty decrees of Lumen Gentium and Christus Dominus. Law and legal institutions form an essential part of the nature and mission of the Church. Canon lawyers are among the key experts who assist the bishop in his shepherding role. Indeed, canonists have recently been thinking a great deal about their role in guiding contemporary legal development. This article will explore the position of the canon lawyer in the post- conciliar Church. Topics addressed are: (1) the canonist as a professional; (2) the canonist's relationship with the residential bishop; and (3) a look at some future projections of canonical ministry.

There are a number of new “provisions that favor not the nullity of marriages, but the speed of processes as well as the simplicity due them, lest the clouds of doubt overshadow the hearts of the faithful awaiting a decision regarding their state because of a delayed sentence.”1 At the same time we are reminded of “the unparalleled need to safeguard the truth of the sacred bond … by the judicial order.”2 The staff of the Tribunal of the Diocese of Cleveland takes this opportunity to renew its commitment to a collaborative ministry of justice to all God’s people. The assistance of priests, deacons, and lay ecclesial ministers in the ministry of the tribunal has for many years promoted effective resolutions to difficult issues of individuals’ marital status in the Church as well as enabled spiritual healing. It is hoped that this booklet will serve as a user friendly reference for those who minister in the parish as procurators. Reverend Gary D. Yanus, J.C.D. Judicial Vicar March 2016 1 FRANCIS, Mitis Iudex Dominus Iesus (2015). 2 Ibid. i ii TRIBUNAL MISSION STATEMENT The Tribunal of the Diocese of Cleveland is the church court established by the Bishop of Cleveland in accordance with canon law.

  • SPECIAL INDULGENCES for the YEAR of ST. JOSEPH December 8, 2020 – December 8, 2021
    SPECIAL INDULGENCES FOR THE YEAR OF ST. JOSEPH December 8, 2020 – December 8, 2021 The Year of St. Joseph (Dec. 8, 2020-Dec. 8, 2021)—proclaimed by Pope Francis on December 8, 2020—comes with the opportunity to gain special indulgences attached to particular practices with devotion to St. Joseph. The Apostolic Penitentiary (the department of the Roman Curia that oversees indulgences) released a decree, approved by Pope Francis, which contains those special indulgences; they are listed outright in this document below. What are indulgences? An indulgence is one way that God, in His mercy, has given to the Church for us to be free of the temporal punishment gained by sin. The Catechism of the Catholic Church states: An indulgence is a remission before God of the temporal punishment due to sins whose guilt has already been forgiven…partial or plenary according as it removes either part of all of the temporal punishment due to sin. The faithful can gain indulgences for themselves or apply them to the dead (CCC, 1471). Requirements to Gain an Indulgence The Christian faithful who are rightly disposed and observe the definite, prescribed conditions gain this remission through the effective assistance of the Church, which, as the minister of redemption, authoritatively distributes and applies the treasury of the expiatory works of Christ and the saints (Indulgentiarum doctrina, “Apostolic Constitution for Indulgences”, N1). Requirements for gaining a plenary indulgence (ID, N7): 1. Performance of the indulgenced work 2. Sacramental Confession 3. Eucharistic Communion 4. Prayer for the Pope’s intentions o Praying one Our Father and Hail Mary will suffice (ID, N10) 5.

Research Tools for History and History of Law” took place from the 16th to the 18th of June 2014 at the Max Planck Institute (MPI) for European Legal History in Frankfurt am Main, after the workshop in 2011 the second event of this kind taking place at the Institute focusing on the sources of the central institutions of the Roman Church in the early modern and contemporary eras. It was part of the training programme of “Study Sessions” at the Institute which were and are regularly held and specifically aimed at helping young researchers in the formative phase of their projects. The purpose of this year’s workshop was to offer participants insights into the basic tools for beginning research in the archives of the Roman Curia dicasteries and of other Roman Seite 1 von 15 ecclesiastical institutions as well as to provide elements for a critical interpretation of the sources and their contextualization through the most current literature. Its focus aligns with several of the host institution’s special research fields, in particular the Max Planck Research Group on the Congregation of the Council and Church Governance, the expertise relating the legal history of the church between the Late Middle Ages and the modern period and the focus on sources as an important part of the Institute’s research activities.
