ASPECTOS DEL DERECHO PENAL CANÓNICO. ANTES Y DESPUÉS DEL CIC DE 1983.

BERNAL, J.
- Abstract
The reform of penal canon law, whose fruit is Book VI of the CIC of 1983, has reduced the area subject to coercion, has strengthened the recourse to charity and equity in the application of the law, has attempted to match the defense of the common good with the protection of subjective rights and has facilitated legal means so that the responsibility in the exercise of coercive power may be more distributed between central and local governments. The principal legislative novelties after the CIC of 1983 refer to the complete reception of the various forms of magisterium (motu proprio Ad tuendam Fidem) and have clarified important issues regarding the delimitation of the delicta graviora and jurisdiction over them (motu proprio Sacramentorum sanctitatis tutela). The crises suffered recently by the Church should lead to an awareness of the role corresponding to penal canon law in the protection and defense of the common good.
