Apostolic Signatura

The Apostolic Signatura is the highest court of the Catholic Church, responsible for overseeing and resolving legal matters within the Church. Similar to a supreme court, it handles appeals and ensures that justice is applied according to canonical law, which governs the Church's operations. It is part of the Vatican's judicial system and helps maintain order and fairness in Church-related disputes. The Signatura also advises on legal matters and can address issues of ecclesiastical law, ensuring that the rights of individuals and the Church are upheld.
