- Title
EL PROMOTOR DE JUSTICIA EN EL PROCESO PENAL CANÓNICO.
- Authors
Cappello, Hugo H.
- Abstract
The article explores the penal process of Canon Law, as well as the nature and action of the Promoter of Justice. The author highlights what is described as a declination in the realization of criminal proceedings even in the context of accusations of sexual abuse of minors committed by clergy. Possible reasons behind this are outlined, including the need to prove the guilt of the accused beyond a reasonable doubt to administer punishment, and the view of the commission of the sin itself to be a manner of punishment.
- Subjects
CRIMINAL law (Canon law); CRIMINAL procedure (Canon law); PUNISHMENT (Canon law); CHILD sexual abuse by clergy (Canon law); JUDGES (Canon law); JUDICIAL power (Canon law)
