Pope Francis changed canon 700 in the Code of Canon Law to give a person 30 days to lodge an appeal from the day of receiving the notification of the decree of dismissal. It formerly gave 10 days.
Pope Francis’ message was read at the beginning of a Mass for consecrated men and women in Rome’s St. Mary Major Basilica on Feb. 2.
The day “answers the intimate need to praise the Lord more solemnly and to thank him for the great gift of consecrated life.”
Pope Francis has asked Catholics to pray in a particular way in the month of February for religious sisters and consecrated women.
