In order to prevent such malfeasance, the Church must seek e</span><span>ective methods which will allow to observe the canon law. </span><span>e aim of this article was to show the penalties for the </span><span>nancial malfeasance in the canonical legal system. </span></p><p><span>Interestingly that ecclesiastical legislator does not use the concept of „</span><span>nancial malfeasance”. However, we can </span><span>nd nine examples of </span><span>nancial malfeasances in Book VI of the </span><span>1983 </span><span>Code. </span><span>e following actions can be related to </span><span>nancial malfeasances: </span><span>1</span><span>) impeding the use of ecclesiastical goods (can.</span><span>1375</span><span>), </span><span>2</span><span>) invalid alienation of ecclesiastical goods (can. </span><span>1377</span><span>), </span><span>3</span><span>) simony </span>(can. 1380), 5) illegitimate prot from Mass oerings (can. 1385), 6) bribery (can. 1386), 7) abuse of authority and culpable negligence in performing act of ecclesiastical power or ministry or oce (can. 1389 §1-2), 8) production and use of false documents (can. 1391), 9) clerics carrying out commercial activities (can. 1392).</p><div class="page" title="Page 19"><div class="layoutArea"><div class="column"><p><span>For such o</span><span>enses, the legislator determines penalties </span><span>ferendae sententiae </span><span>which may be imposed on the o</span><span>ender by judicial or administrative process. </span><span>e legislator does not provide for penalties </span><span>latae sententiae </span><span>for </span><span>nancial malfeasances. For simony and illegitimate pro</span><span>ts from Mass o</span><span>erings leg- islator provides for a penalty of imposing censure. In the case of simony is mandatory sanction (c. </span><span>1380</span><span>), while for the o</span><span>ense of illegitimate pro</span><span>ts from Mass o</span><span>erings is optional one (can. </span><span>1385</span><span>). </span></p><p><span>It can be supposed that the most severe penal sanctions for </span><span>nancial malfeasance is deprivation of o</span><span>ce that the judge may impose, depend- ing on the severity and harm done. </span><span>is is an optional penal imposed for abusing of ecclesiastical power or an o</span><span>ce (can. </span><span>1389 </span><span>§ </span><span>1</span><span>). In other cases, the ecclesiastical legislator provides for a just penalty </span><span>ferendae sententiae. </span><span>If penalties are indeterminate their imposition belongs to the Ordinary or judge. </span><span>e particular law is to be observed which in place of indeterminate penalty </span><span>ferendae sententiae </span><span>it may establish a penalty determined or obli- gated (can. </span><span>1315 </span><span>§ </span><span>1</span><span>). In accordance with can. </span><span>1317 </span><span>particular law can not establish a penalty of dismissal from the clerical state. </span></p></div></div></div></div></div></div> ER -
