Reasons for Resignation from the Office of the Diocesan Bishop
Journal Title: Kościół i Prawo - Year 2016, Vol 5, Issue 2
Abstract
An ecclesiastical office is any function constituted in a stable manner by divine or ecclesiastical law to be exercised for a spiritual purpose. According to can. 184 § 1 of the 1983 Code of Canon Law, the ecclesiastical office is lost by the lapse of a predetermined time, by reaching the age determined by the law, by resignation, by transfer, by removal and by privation. Any person of sound mind can resign an ecclesiastical office for a just cause. A diocesan bishop who has completed his seventy-fifth year of age is requested to present his resignation from office to the Supreme Pontiff. A diocesan bishop is earnestly requested to present his resignation from office when he has become less able to fulfill his office due to ill health or another serious reason (can. 401).
