This monograph examines the procedural position of victims within canonical penal justice and evaluates whether the Church’s legal system provides effective recognition, participation and protection. Through doctrinal analysis, comparative law and a historical review, the author studies due process from the victim’s perspective, with particular attention to the reform of Book VI of the Code of Canon Law and canon 1398.
The research is complemented by interviews with seven international experts in canon law, safeguarding and ecclesial governance. Their contributions make it possible to contrast legal norms with current practice and to identify weaknesses, good practices and areas for improvement concerning access to justice, reparation, compensation and assistance. The volume concludes with concrete recommendations aimed at strengthening victims’ procedural rights while preserving the guarantees proper to canonical penal justice.
