Procedural novelties regarding marriage nullity and Canonical jurisdiction ABSTRACT: The purpose of the essay is to investigate the changes made to the disciplines of the Canonical process of marriage nullity by the Motu Proprio “mitis Iudex Dominus Iesus”, in an attempt to verify whether the reform – which, as we know, has foreseen, among the other novelties, a shorter trial before the Bishop, and the elimination of the double judgment in conformity – both in line with the impunity proper the Canonical jurisdiction. In this perspective, the study will be dedicated to the historic reconstruction of the Procexus nonetheless or coram Episcopo and of the institution of the so-called double judgment in conformity, at the end of which it could to point out that the devolution to the Bishop of a shorter judgment – and the consequential reduction of the procedural forms – should not have underscored the cardinal principles of Canonical jurisdiction.
