Article 29

Ordinaries, also as Delegates of the Apostolic See, should strive to proscribe and take from the hands of the faithful books and other harmful writings published or diffused in their Diocese. Let them refer to Apostolic judgment those works or writings which demand a subtler examination, or in which, for pursuing a salutary effect, the sentence of supreme authority seems to be required.

Division of the article

By the former part of this article the zeal of Ordinaries is stirred up, with their power also broadened; in the other part prudent use of the conceded power is urged.
