Anotaciones acerca de la provisión de oficios capitales como acto jurídico y como acto de gobierno.

The appointment of holders of capital offices entails important sacramental implications, a number of legal-formal elements and significant prudential, pastoral and even political features. All these aspects are involved in the right of the ecclesial community to good governance. The purpose of this paper is to analyze the norms and some elements of their application regarding three dimensions of the act of provision. First, the legalsacramental dimension involved in the provision of episcopal offices is addressed. Second, the article focuses on hierarchical communion as a personal situation that is verified in such provision. Third, some of the moderating aspects of episcopal ministry relating to the provision of the capital office as such are taken into consideration. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
