Diocesan Policies
- A Diocesan Policy is what the Code of Canon Law calls "particular law," or "diocesan law." These are laws established and promulgated by the Bishops of Green Bay for the Diocese of Green Bay. They remain in effect until the Bishop revises or eliminates them.
- Diocesan Policies are in addition to the laws in the Code of Canon Law and other laws for the Roman Catholic Church.
- Diocesan Policies are binding. They require a dispensation if one needs to act otherwise in a particular situation. Dispensations may be requested from the Bishop or the Vicar General.
- Diocesan Policies are distinct from Diocesan Guidelines, which are strong recommendations, but do not have the binding force of policies.
Note: This page does not yet include all policies in effect in the Diocese. Eventually all Diocesan Polices will be posted here.
