Pope Leo XIV approves Rescriptum ex Audientia Sanctissimi

First source report

Catholic IntelligenceUpdated 1 min read

Pope Leo XIV approved modifications to the disciplinary rules for Roman Curia employees through a Rescriptum ex Audientia Sanctissimi on Oct. 19. The document, signed by Secretary of State Cardinal Pietro Parolin, amends the 2025 Regulations for Personnel of the Roman Curia.

The changes introduce safeguards for employees facing proceedings for serious misconduct. These include the right to legal representation and an extended period to submit a defense. The reform also clarifies the responsibilities of the Disciplinary Commission by amending Articles 62 §3, 68 §2, and 68 §4.

Under the new rules, the Disciplinary Commission no longer handles suspensions of up to 30 days. The head of a dicastery may now impose these shorter suspensions directly. The commission remains responsible for examining more serious disciplinary sanctions.
