Abstrakt

In 2024, the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith, having received the necessary mandate from the Roman Pontiff, conducted a criminal process of the Most Reverend Carlo Maria Viganò. The Archbishop was accused of the crime of schism under Canons 751 and 1364 of the CIC/83. The accusation concerned breaking communion with Pope Francis and denying the Second Vatican Council’s magisterium and was mainly based on his public statements posted online. The criminal process was conducted extrajudicially in light of Canon 1720 of the CIC/83 and the 2021 Normae de delictis. It concluded with the decree of July 4, 2024, which was issued by the Disciplinary Section of the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith. As a result, the Dicastery declared excommunication against the Archbishop, the censure which he had incurred by virtue of the law itself.
