The Competence of the Conference of Bishops to Define Acts of Extraordinary Administration

Keywords: acts of extraordinary administration, bishops’ conference, transaction, which can worsen the patrimonial condition of a juridical person

Abstract

The article explores the legal requirement for defining the acts of extraordinary administration by the conference of bishops (can. 1277 in fine). In Poland, the Episcopal Conference has not yet defined these acts of administration. The analysis of the particular law of other conferences lays down three criteria for establishing acts of extraordinary administration. The requirement of canon law stipulates that those acts cannot be determined on the basis of the instructions, but the decree (can. 455). For the decree to enter into force it is to obtain recognition from the Congregation for the Clergy. Therefore, the above-mentioned acts are important not only to distinguish these acts from transactions which can worsen the patrimonial condition of a juridical person (can. 1295), but also for collective bodies who are to give the consent to place these acts (can. 1277).
