From The Pillar:
A new canonical law entered into force in Poland Sunday, imposing financial penalties on clergy and lay personnel who violate Church law.
Under the new law, financial penalties can be imposed for a wide variety of offenses, including disobedience to ecclesiastical authority, misappropriation of Church property, and bribery. Canon 1336 § 2, n. 2, says that a Catholic who commits an offense can be required “to pay a fine or a sum of money for the Church’s purposes, in accordance with the guidelines established by the Episcopal Conference.” Canon 1336 § 4, n. 5 says that a Church member can be deprived “of all ecclesiastical remuneration or part of it, in accordance with the guidelines established by the Episcopal Conference.”
