Article IV: Of the Transmission of the Process of the Writings of the Servant of God, of the Informative Process, and of Non-Cult to the Sacred Congregation

As soon as the Ordinary has completed the search for writings, he is to send them to Rome together with the little process of diligences, that is, with the juridical relation of the diligences which he used in searching for the writings.

If after the search for writings of the Servant of God other writings are found in the course of the cause, they must at once be transmitted to the Sacred Congregation, nor can one proceed to further matters unless they have first been reviewed.

§ 1. The Ordinary is to hand over the transcript of the informative process to the postulator, to be transmitted to the Sacred Congregation.

§ 2. Together with the transcript he is also to send letters both of the judges to the Sacred Congregation and of the promoter of the faith to the Promoter General of the Faith, so that the Sacred Congregation may be made more certain both concerning the faith to be given to the witnesses and concerning all the acts legitimately completed.

§ 3. The Ordinary is also to transmit a description of the form of the seal with which he sealed the transcript, or a specimen of the same seal.

Likewise the Ordinary is to transmit the completed process concerning non-cult to the Sacred Congregation through the postulator.
