Consistorial Court of Discipline

The Consistorial Court of Discipline is a specialized judicial body within the Catholic Church responsible for overseeing the conduct of clergy, particularly bishops. It investigates cases of misconduct, violations of church laws, or abuses of authority. Its role is to ensure accountability and uphold ethical standards among church officials. The court operates based on canon law, conducting trials and, when necessary, imposing disciplinary measures. This institution ensures that church leaders adhere to the moral and legal expectations of their office, maintaining the integrity and discipline within the ecclesiastical hierarchy.
