Word of the Day: Denunciation

DENUNCIATION. Manifestation of a crime to the proper ecclesiastical authorities. Clerics and religious who join forbidden societies are to be denounced to the Holy See. A confessor guilty of solicitation during confession should be denounced to a bishop or to Rome. A false denunciation of a confessor is a grave sin that traditionally is reserved to the Holy See.

Comments are subject to deletion if they are not germane. I have no problem with a bit of colourful language, but blasphemy or depraved profanity will not be allowed. Attacks on the Catholic Faith will not be tolerated. Comments will be deleted that are republican (Yanks! Note the lower case 'r'!), attacks on the legitimacy of Pope Francis as the Vicar of Christ (I know he's a material heretic and a Protector of Perverts, and I definitely want him gone yesterday! However, he is Pope, and I pray for him every day.), the legitimacy of the House of Windsor or of the claims of the Elder Line of the House of France, or attacks on the legitimacy of any of the currently ruling Houses of Europe.
