NORMAS SUSTANCIALES.

The article presents a reprint, in Spanish, of the substantive norms of the amended "Normae de gravioribus delictis," norms governing the power of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith of the Holy See to judge and punish crimes against the Catholic faith. The norms authorize the congregation to judge cardinals, patriarchs, and bishops, define crimes against the faith as heresy, apostasy and schism, and establish that such a crime committed is extinguished by prescription after 20 years.
