| Summary: | This article traces the dialogue between Australian authorities, the Asutralian Episcopal Conference, and the Holy See concerning the response to the crisis of the secual abuse of minors, focusing solely on the question of the certainty required for the resolution of criminal cases. On the part of the Church, the insufficiency of "probability" (the "balance of probabilities") for a conviction in the canonical forum in the face of the requirement for moral certainty (can. 1608), is confirmed. L'articolo ripercorre il dialogo tra autoritá australiane, conferenza episcopale australiana e Santa Sede in merito alla reazione alla crisi degli abusi nei confronti di minori, concentrandosi esclusivamente sulla questione della certezza richiesta per la definizione delle cause penali. Per parte della Chiesa si conferma l'insufficienza della probabilitá (balance of probabilities) per una condanna penale canonica, a fronte della necessitá della certezza morale (can. 1608). |
