Canon 1361. §1 A remission can be granted even to a person who is not present, or conditionally.

§2 A remission in the external forum is to be granted in writing, unless a grave reason suggests otherwise.

§3 The petition for remission or the remission itself is not to be made public, except in so far as this would either be useful for the protection of the good name of the offender, or be necessary to repair scandal.

§4 Remission must not be granted until, in the prudent judgement of the Ordinary, the offender has repaired any harm caused. The offender may be urged to make such reparation or restitution by one of the penalties mentioned in can. 1336 §§2-4; the same applies also when the offender is granted remission of a censure under can. 1358 §1.

§1. Remissio dari potest etiam absenti vel sub condicione.

§2. Remissio in foro externo detur scripto, nisi gravis causa aliud suadeat.

§3. Remissionis petitio vel ipsa remissio ne divulgetur, nisi quatenus id vel utile sit ad rei famam tuendam vel necessarium ad scandalum reparandum.

§4. Remissio dari non debet donec, prudenti arbitrio Ordinarii, damnum forte illatum reus reparaverit; qui ad hanc reparationem vel restitutionem urgeri potest per unam ex poenis de quibus in can. 1336, §§2-4, quod valet etiam cum illi censura remittitur ad normam can. 1358,§1.
