Advisory Opinions and Consultations in Canon Law This page is being reorganized. Your patience is appreciated. |
|
Overview
The canonical consultation literary form is similar to "Casus Conscientiae" of the moral theologians.
|
Advisory opinions and published consultations are a staple of canon law. These short works, usually targeted to a narrow set of facts (sometimes hypothetical, but often actual, if disguised), illustrate the concrete application of law to life. All advisory opinions are unofficial (no matter who wrote them) and rest only on the authority of the arguments made therein. Nevertheless, they form an important part of canonical literature and contribute to the evolution of canonical jurisprudence.

|
1983 Code |
The most important collection of advisory opinions on Johanno-Pauline law is that published annually by the Canon Law Society of America, here.
Other sets of advisory opinions include:

|
1917 Code |
William Conway, Problems in Canon Law: Classified Replies to Practical Questions (Newman, 1956) 345 pp. Review: E. Roelker, The Jurist 17 (1957) 211. Some 140 questions/answers from every book of the Code. Earlier versions of most replies can be found be in The Irish Ecclesiastical Record, 1943-1956.
E. J. Mahoney (English priest, 1888-1954), Priests’ Problems, edited by L. McReavey, (Burns & Oates, 1958) 468 pp. While not every question and/or answer was strictly canonical, an index on pp. 459-461 will indicate whether a given canon was among the more than 230 canons treated in some 335 main questions. Earlier versions of most replies can be found be in The Clergy Review, 1945-1954.
aa.vv., Consultationes Iuris Canonici, in 2 vols., (Pont. Inst. Utriusque Iuris, 1934/1939), both volumes treat scores of questions on hundreds of canons from throughout the Code.

End of the Index The major stages in the abolition of the “Index of Forbidden Books” can be traced in the following documents: Paul VI, m.p. Integrae servandae (7 December 1965), Acta Apostolicae Sedis 57 (1965) 952-955, English trans., (dispositive parts only) CLD 6: 358-359, renaming and redefining the competence of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith; Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, notif. Post litteras apostolicas (14 June 1966), Acta Apostolicae Sedis 58 (1966) 455, English trans., CLD 6: 814-815, confirming the revocation of the “Index of Forbidden Books”; and Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, decr. Post editam (15 November 1966), Acta Apostolicae Sedis 58 (1966) 1186, English trans., CLD 6: 817-818, abrogating 1917 CIC 1399 and 2318.
Remission of penalty upon abrogation of penal law
1983 CIC 1313. § 1. Si post delictum commissum lex mutetur, applicanda est lex reo favorabilior. § 2. Quod si lex posterior tollat legem vel saltem poenam, haec statim cessat. English trans., § 1. If a law is changed after a delict has been committed, the law more favorable to the accused is to be applied. § 2. If a later law abolishes a law or at least the penalty, the penalty immediately ceases. For examples of this occurring, see Congregation for Bishops, private reply to NCCB petition dated May 4, 1977 (22 October 1977), CLD 8:1213-1214 or Origins 7 (1977-1978 56=, 354= , lifting the excommunication of those who, contrary to legislation of the Third Plenary Council of Baltimore, attempted civil marriage after divorce; and Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, decr. Post editam (15 November 1966), Acta Apostolicae Sedis 58 (1966) 1186, English trans., CLD 6: 817-818, abrogating 1917 CIC 1399 and 2318 (basically, the “Index of Forbidden Books”) and immediately absolving those who might have incurred censures there under.
