In the sacrament of reconciliation a penitent through the service of an authorized priest receives the forgiveness of sins through the mercy of God and consequently is reconciled with the Church. One of the fundamental elements of this sacrament is confession of sins in the presence of an authorized priest. Minister of this sacrament, a priest, needs to be delegated to administer this sacrament through the proper licensing. It is given through the power of the law itself or by the attachment to the office or alternatively by the designated church power. In the individual and integral confession penitent could confess the grave sin to the authorized priest which in the Church’ legislation has been defined as offense. In that situation not every priest who is able to listen to confession will have the capacity to give absolution due to the gravity of that sin. In order to release the penitent from the incurred censure the minister needs the adequate power which is given by the legislator in CIC/83 or by the competent power. The power of the confessor is subjected to some restrictions because he is unable give absolution from the Church’ punishments in all cases and release the penitent from all the sins committed. The source of these restrictions, is among others, the division in the Church’ punishments between censures and expiatory punishment and between punishments latae sententiae and ferendae sententiae as well as eventual declaration of the punishment latae sententiae. Moreover, another source of the restrictions applicable to the power of a confessor is the reservation made by the Holy See which applies to some excommunications latae sententiae. The common law this kind of power, with some limits, allocates to the following ministers of that sacrament: 1) bishop; 2) the ordinary; 3) canon penitentiary; 4) a chaplain of a hospital, prison or a sea trip; 5) any confessor in an emergency situation (casus urgens). Additionally the permission to give absolution in some limited range of internal sacramental punishments might be given by the Holy See and by the competent ordinary.

Pope John Paul II in the Motu Proprio Sacramentorum sanctitatis tutela on 30 April 2001 promulgated the norms concerning the gravest crimes reserved to the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith. Such an intervention of the Church, as the Pope explained, was required by the necessity to protect the sanctity of the sacraments, especially those of the Most Holy Sacrament and Sacrifice of the Eucharist and Sacrament of Penance, as well as the need to keep the purity of morality in regard to the sixth commandment of the Decalogue. The Church, driven by pastoral concern and keeping in mind the ultimate goal of any Church law, which should be salus animarum, intervenes to prevent any violation in such serious and delicate matter as the sacraments. The Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith issued on 18 May 2001 a letter to the Ordinaries and Hierarchs of the Roman Catholic Church describing the new crimes reserved to the Congregation and the procedural norms to be followed in these cases. Nine years after the promulgation of De gravioribus delictis norms, the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith modified them, integrating and updating them in order to simplify the procedures, so that they could become more effective in solving contemporary problems. The modified norms concerning the crimes reserved to the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith were presented to Pope Benedict XVI who approved of them on 21 May 2010 and ordered to promulgate them. De delictis reservatis norms of 2010 consist of two parts: the first one, Normae substantiales, from article 1 to 7, and the second one including articles 8-31. The first part describes the competence of the Congregation, the crimes belonging to the delicta reservata category, and the norms concerning the prescription of actio criminalis in case of delicta reservata. The latter part defines the procedures in case of delicta reservata for which the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith is the Supreme Apostolic Tribunal. This article analyses only those of the crimes reserved to the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith which refer to the sacraments of the Eucharist. It should be stated that both existing and new norms concerning delicta graviora show great concern of the Church for the protection of the sacraments. On the other hand, which seems alarming, the necessity to update the norms protecting the sacraments indicates their relatively frequent violation. In the context of possible violations of dignified and valid administration of the sacraments, especially the Eucharist, the knowledge and right interpretation of the Church norms promulgated to protect these sacraments seem vital.
