Penal Liability of Parents Under Can. 1366 of the 1983 Code of Canon Law

Krzysztof Mikołajczuk



Abstract

Under Can. 1366 of the 1983 Code of Canon Law, Catholic parents, or those who take their place, who hand over their children to be baptised or educated in a non Catholic religion are to be punished with a censure or other just penalty. Undoubtedly, the reason for this provision is to protect the good of faith and the right of children who were baptised in the Catholic Church to be raised as Catholics. It also imposes on parents (or legal guardians) the obligation to raise their children in accordance with the Catholic Church teaching.

Keywords:

penal canon law, penal liability of parents under canon law, hand over a child to be baptised and raised in a non Catholic religion
