Sanctions in the Church » Offenses and Penalties in General » The Punishment of Offenses in General
Canon 1312. §1 The penal sanctions in the Church are:

1° medicinal penalties or censures, which are listed in can. 1331-1333;

2° expiatory penalties, mentioned in can. 1336.

§2 The law may determine other expiatory penalties which deprive a member of Christ’s faithful of some spiritual or temporal good, and are consistent with the Church’s supernatural purpose.

§3 Use is also made of penal remedies and penances, referred to in cann. 1339 and 1340: the former primarily to prevent offences, the latter rather to substitute for or to augment a penalty.

§1. Sanctiones poenales in Ecclesia sunt:

1° poenae medicinales seu censurae, quae in can. 1331‑1333 recensentur;

2° poenae expiatoriae, de quibus in can. 1336.

§2. Lex alias poenas expiatorias constituere potest, quae christifidelem aliquo bono spirituali vel temporali privent et supernaturali Ecclesiae fini sint consentaneae.

§3. Praeterea adhibentur remedia poenalia et paenitentiae de quibus in can. 1339 et 1340, illa quidem praesertim ad delicta praecavenda, hae potius ad poenam substituendam vel augendam.
