Zdrada tajemnicy sakramentalnej i sekretu spowiedzi w prawodawstwie kościelnym

Abstract

This paper, using the concept of offence as a starting point, elaborates on the issue of direct or indirect violation of the sacramental seal, as referred to in can. 1388 § 1 CIC/83. The author also discusses an offence consisting in the recording with any technical device or dissemination to the media of what was communicated by a confessor or penitent in a sacramental confession, real or false, with malicious intent.
