Catholic Church Canon Laws

You can read then for yourself here; http://www.deacons.net/Canon_Law/cci.htm

The ones getting all the pub lately are below:

Can. 489 §1 In the diocesan curia there is also to be a secret archive, or at least in the ordinary archive there is to be a safe or cabinet, which is securely closed and bolted and which cannot be removed. In this archive documents which are to be kept under secrecy are to be most carefully guarded.

§2 Each year documents of criminal cases concerning moral matters are to be destroyed whenever the guilty parties have died, or ten years have elapsed since a condemnatory sentence concluded the affair. A short summary of the facts is to be kept, together with the text of the definitive judgement.

Can. 490 §1 Only the Bishop is to have the key of the secret archive.

§2 When the see [Bishop] is vacant, the secret archive or safe is not to be opened except in a case of real necessity, and then by the diocesan Administrator personally.

§3 Documents are not to be removed from the secret archive or safe.

I love that they destroy documents every year, hide their tracks, but keep a "summary". Well done Catholics!
