Text of excerpt, if available
Last March 20th, the Apostolic Penitentiary issued a note in which it ea ipsa declared to have considered the hypotheses established by Canon 961, § 1, n. 2, to give absolution in general form to a number of penitents together, without their prior individual confession. In fact, it underscores the “gravis necessitas” that authorizes diocesan bishops (ex Can. 961 § 2) to use the special faculties provided for pursuant to Can. 961 § 1.
