The New Reform of the Roman Curia
The Roman Curia is the body of institutions that assist the pope in his ministry as supreme pastor of the Catholic Church. The much-awaited reform of the curia, by means of the Apostolic Constitution Praedicate Evangelium , gave rise to strong hopes of decentralization and efficiency at the Vatican and the church. However, a close reading of this new norm does not immediately lead to concluding that any more ecclesiastical competences of the Holy…
Clergy authority and civil liability for sex abuse from a comparative perspective
State courts in common law and civil law jurisdictions rely, in different ways, on the existence of clergy authority for the attribution of liability in tort to religious organizations for acts of sex abuse by their clergy. However, the perception that state courts have of clergy authority within various Christian denominations is often at odds with how those religious organizations see themselves and their own authority. This is the case of the …
The New Reform of the Penal Law of the Catholic Church
The new reform of the penal law of the Catholic Church, amending Book VI of the Code of Canon Law of the Latin Church, as well as other recent canon law norms, aims at making sure that local bishops can punish more straightforwardly and with less discretion those conducts which are considered as most harmful for the church as a community. The drafters of this reform have made it clear that, in the past, many believed that penal laws should only e…
The International Responsibility of the Holy See for Human Rights Violations
In recent years, the Holy See has been accused of violating its human rights obligations because of acts of sex abuse by the Catholic clergy. Such accusations are based, in various ways, on the authority of the Holy See over the clergy. The Holy See is often referred to as a state and its obligations as state obligations. UN treaty bodies understand that the human rights obligations of the Holy See, as a treaty party, are of a legal--not moral--n…
La Franja d’Aragó and Sigena
The disputes of La Franja and Sigena oppose various ecclesiastical entities as well as several Spanish regional authorities, span several centuries, and concern ecclesiastical goods of enormous cultural value. The dispute has led to numerous rulings by ecclesiastical courts and Spanish courts, including civil courts, administrative courts, and the Constitutional Court. The different proceedings are a good example of the interaction between canon …
Civil Liability for Sex Abuse by Muslim Clergy in Spain
State courts of civil law and common law jurisdictions alike are used to applying the rules of direct and indirect tort liability to Christian churches in different ways and with different results. But recent court decisions have put the issue of the civil liability of religious groups for acts of sex abuse by clergy in a different context, that of Islam. A common denominator in the reasoning of courts worldwide is the relevance of religious auth…
Head of a Young Woman
The case of the illicit export of a Picasso painting by its owner and its confiscation and recovery by French and Spanish authorities provides an interesting example of the complexities of the transnational criminal, civil, and administrative law protection of national cultural heritage and of the ongoing efforts to achieve useful legal instruments at the European level, which foster and harmonize the current and often informal mechanisms of coop…
