If we are unable to help you directly, we will refer you to competent persons who can. Both judicial and administrative procedures require specific steps in a particular order. Certain time limits must be followed. If the necessary steps or time limits are not followed, a case can be thrown out. Judicial trials are handled by the diocesan tribunal.
Administrative procedures begin by contacting the person whose act caused the controversy.
Further appeals must follow the designated procedure. Canonical advocacy is highly recommended if you need to use judicial or administrative procedures. Catholics United for the Faith does not provide canonical advocacy, but we can refer you to competent persons who do. Offer any imperfections and distractions as a sacrifice in union with our Eucharistic Lord for your salvation and that of the Church. Maintain respect for both the person and office of the sacred pastors of the Church, for they act in the Person of Christ.
