Abstract

The Instruction Potestas Ecclesiae, of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, contains the new procedural norms to be observed in the administrative process for the pontifical dissolution of a non-sacramental marriage. In this article, the author analyses this process, excluded from the Code of Canon Law, trying to solve some difficulties and quaestions caused by the new Norms: what are the conditions needed for the validity of the dissolution? Can the non-sacramental matrimonial bond be solved without the intention of celebrate a new marriage? What are the effects of the pontifical rescript?
