The Consistorial Court of Discipline

The Consistorial Court of Discipline is an ecclesiastical court within the Catholic Church that addresses cases of misconduct by clergy and religious members. Its primary role is to ensure adherence to church laws and morality, handling issues such as moral failures or disciplinary infractions. While it operates under canon law, the court aims to uphold the integrity of the Church and protect the faithful. The proceedings are not criminal but focus on restoring order and discipline within the church community. Ultimately, it seeks to guide members back to their religious commitments.
