Indult

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This article refers to an Indult according to church law. For other uses of the word, see Pardon.

An indult is a permission, or privilege, granted by the competent church authority – the Holy See or the diocesan bishop, as the case may be – for an exception from a particular norm of church law in an individual case,[1] for example, members of the consecrated life seeking to be dispensed from their religious vows.[2]

Indult Catholic also refers to Catholics who hear the Tridentine Mass under an Ecclesia Dei indult thus maintaining full communion with Rome.[3]
