Article 33

¶1.

The same is to be said concerning Collections of Decrees of individual Roman Congregations: namely, these Collections cannot be published unless license has first been obtained, and the conditions prescribed by the moderators of each Congregation have been observed.

108.

What Collections are

108. 1. Those periodicals do not make Collections which are accustomed to spread abroad various decrees of the Sacred Congregations, whether concerning several subjects or concerning one subject. For formally they do not come forth as Collections of some Congregation; nor even materially do they exhibit a sufficiently complete series of the acts of some Congregation, or draw documents from one Congregation in such a way that they can be regarded as Collections. Thus, for example, our volume II, De Religiosis Institutis ac Personis.

Published Collections are not prohibited

2. Collections published without due license are not now prohibited. For this sanction has not been enacted by the Constitution. Thus also Pennacchi, cited work, n. 70; Wernz, n. 122, note 100; Ciolli, n. 80.
