Slater, Manual of Moral Theology
Vol. II, Bk. X, Pt. III, Ch. I, D.—Excommunications Reserved to the Ordinary
Scienter affects only those who sell, distribute, or expose false relics to the public veneration of the faithful, not those who make them. Canon 2343 manus injecerit in personam III. Qui violentas aliorum clericorum vel utriusque sexus religiosorum, subjaceat ipso facto excommunicationi Ordinario proprio reservatae. (Canon 2343 III. Whoever lays violent hands on the person of other clerics or of religious of either sex is ipso facto subject to an excommunication reserved to his own Ordinary.)
