Abstract

Recourses against Decisions Made by Superiors. A Re of Relevant Rules in the Specific Law Governing Religious Institutes and Societies of Apostolic Life

Of the approximately 70 religious institutes and societies of apostolic life examined, about half deal in their proper law with the possibility of having recourse against the decisions of superiors. The respective norms in the constitutions or other documents of their proper law vary greatly. With a few exceptions, they do not contradict the provisions of the CIC on hierarchical recourses (canons 1732-1739), but often go into specific details. Overall, however, this issue is neglected in the proper law of most institutes; there is still much room for improvement.

Keywords: religious institutes; superiors; hierarchical recourses.
