Note 981 — Chapter II · THE TREATMENT OF PENITENTS IN DIFFERENT EXTERNAL CIRCUMSTANCES
Richard F. (Richard Frederick) Clarke translation
Prouti in aliis Legibus, quando aditus ad Papam est impossibilis et periculum in mora (cf. Bened. XIV, De. Syn. Lib. IV. cp. 2, nn. 2, 3); indeed according to the probable opinion of some theologians, the bishop can delegate this power, as a potestas ordinaria, to others, etiam generaliter pro omnibus casibus occurrentibus. S. Alph. Theol. Mor. Lib. VI. n. 613; Prax. Conf. n. 8.
