Canon Law

[thea]

I have a letter from  Domestic-Church.Com entitled:

*Pope Tightens Canon Law Against Dissent*

In this letter the Very Pope John Paul II stated:

adds to the existing #750 a second paragraph, making

it clear that anyone who refuses to accept a proposition

definitively taught by the Church is thus 'in opposition to the

doctrine of the Catholic Church.'

Next, #1371--a canon dealing with ecclesiastical

sanctions for those who reject Church authority--

is amended to stipulate that anyone who violates

#750 is "to be punished with a just penalty."

 

I would like to know what a *just penalty* is

to the Roman Catholic Church?

this did not come into my in-box -- why not?
