KETERLIBATAN PENEGAK HUKUM TERHADAP PENJEMPUTAN PAKSA PERSPEKTIF PERLINDUNGAN ANAK : Studi Kasus Selebgram Laura Meizani (Loly)
No full textThis research analyzes the involvement of law enforcement in the forced pick-up carried out by Nikita Mirzani’s daughter named Laura Meizani (Loly) .This case is very trending on social media for a couple of days, so the author is interested in making it as the object of the latest research regarding the forced pick-up that Nikita Mirzani carried out on her child. This research uses a normative law research method with a statutory approach related to this issue. The research results explained that: 1. The forced pick-up carried out by Nikita Mirzani involving law enforcement was in accordance with applicable legal provisions. 2. Even though the authorities state that they have complied with procedures, it is best to pay more attention when picking up minors, especially those who are public figures or celebrities, to maintain the child's safety and comfort

Society and the inquisition in Malta 1743-1798
No full textThe thesis falls into two main sections. It endeavours to analyse the major aspects of Maltese society in the second half of the eighteenth century as they emerge from a close scrutiny of the Archives of the Inquisition in Malta. The approach is mainly that of the ethnologist, a social history written 'from below'. The ultimate purpose was to try to arrive at as clear and accurate a picture of the Maltese mentalite as the archives permitted. Unfortunately, the Archives of the Inquisition in Malta have hardly ever been seriously studied by the social historian. Their richness and diversity not only cast enormous insight into the mental habits and frame of mind of a wide cross-section of Maltese society; they even shed sufficient light on a wide range of the social life of the Maltese. The subject is also approached from the point of view of the legal historian. The Inquisition was a Tribunal of Faith set up to stop the onslaught of Protestantism, as well as to reform the superstitious accretions to popular religion practised by the remaining part of the Catholic Church. The thesis examines the events leading to the charge and possibly arrest of the accused. Most of the reports were self-accusations and those arrested were taken into custody only after much deliberation. If the Inquisitors did make use of torture the accused was assisted by the defence counsel and produced his own witnesses. No instance of death sentences are encountered with in the second half of the eighteenth century and those found guilty were kindly dealt with, the Inquisitors being only after their conversion

Psychological Testing
When we last published an article on the psychological testing of
candidates, a religious superior wrote an indignant letter cancelling
his subscription and asserting that such testing interferes with the
work of the Holy Ghost. Thatthis is a misconception should be evi-dent
to all who read Father Bier’s article in the present number and
a s~cond article to be phblished in January. Whatever may be said
’for or against the value of psychological tests--and we do not claim
to have all the answers--it seems clear enough that their use is no
more an attempt to "naturMize" religious vocation than is the use of
previous medical examinations.
Educating Sisters
We have just received a very yaluable brochure entitled Directorg
of Catholic Women’s Colleges with Facilities for the Education oF
Sisters. This brochure gives tabulated i’nformation on colleges and
motherhouses accredited to offer degree programs, detailing the par-ticular
courses provided, the number of Sisters who could be cared
for, and the conditions, financial and otherwise, under which they
would be received. The information was gathered by the Commit-tee
on the Survey Section on Teacher Education of the N.C.E.A. The
reason for gathering the information was the fact that many of the
smaller religious congregations of women do not have facilities for
educating their own members and find the standard costs of "sending
Sisters away" prohibitive. These congregations can obtain help from
the larger congregations; and this Directorg will show at a glance
where and how the help can be obtained. For further information,
or for copies of the Directo~g, piease address: Sister Mary Gerard,
O.S.F., Chairman, Directory Project, Alverno College, 3401 South
39th Street, Milwaukee 15, Wisconsin.

the slides tO interested groups, particularly, young ladies among
whom there might be the possibility of a contemplative vocation.
They will also send ~lratis literature for distribution, a set of seven
large posters, and 6-inch dolls’d~es~ed as" Poor Clar~s. The remailing
of, the small slide file is the only expense they would expect the user
to assume.. Those interested in this vocational project shQ~Id write

New Indulgence
For the purpose of ’increasing devotion to the Blessed Virgin
Mary ever more and more, Ou~ Holy Father, Pope Plus XII, in. an
audience given to the Cardinal Major Penitentiary on March 30,
1953, granted in perpetuum an indulgence of fifty days, to be gained
once a day, to those who, keeping on their person a duly blessed
rosary of Our Lady, have kissed it devoutly.and at the same time
have recited with a pious mind the words of the Angelic Salutation:
"H~iil Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou
among women, arid blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus." (Acta
Apostolicae. Sedis, XXXXV [ 19 5 3 ], 31 1.) ,
Valuable Booklets
The Grail Press, St. Meinrad, Indiana, has sent us two booklets
of immense value for clerics. Both of them are re-editions. One is
Rome and the Study of Scri_pture, which contains a collection of
papal enactments on the study of Holy Scripture, together with deci-sions
of the Biblica.1 Commission. The price is one dollar. The other
booklet is The Popes and the Priesthood, which contains English
translations of importgnt statements of the Holy See on the.priest-hoo.

Rural Parish I, Vorke;’s
In our last number (see. p. 242) we promised a more complete
account of the Rural Parish Workers of Christ the King. This
apostolate was begun by Miss Alice Widmer, a graduate of.Webster
College, Webster Groves, Missouri, and Miss LaDonna I-fermann, a
graduate of Maryville College of the Sacred Heart, St. Louis. In the
summer of 1941 they decided to devote ~heir lives to lay action for
the salvation of souls and the extension of Christ’s Kingdom by the
igractice bf the spiritual and corporal works of mercy. That fall
they heard Monsignor (later Bishop) Leo J. Steck speak of the’lick

of priests’in rural.areas, and th’ey: asked him whether they might help
in one of these areas. With his assis’tance and that of Father William
d. Pe~.old, they began work in the latter’s parish of Cottleville,
St. Charles Count’/, Mi’ssouri. During that same summer they learned
to use the short breviary. The remainder of their story i~ told by
tlSemselveL as follows:
"Activities ir~ St. Ct~arles County, where we lived in two twelve:
by-twelve-foot rooms in a portable schoolbuilding on thechurch
grounds, included home visiting, care of the sick, helping the poor,

.Catholic children, craft classes for,, dhildren and adults, discussion

distribution of Catholic literature and sacramentals, religious and
social Welfare work.
"Originally we had no thought of a continuing organizatio.n.
As’we saw the needs and what could be done we went to see Car-dinal
John d. Glennon of beloved memory’, who had been a benefac-tor
from the first. He encouraged us in our plans to £tevelop a per-manent
organization and gave permission to solicit funds for~ p, er-manent
home not to be located on parish grounds. Shortly there-after
he died.
"Sev, enteen months, later we discussed our future with Arch-bishop.
Joseph E. Ritter. Three months afterwards he asked us;..to
work’among.the miners and farmers of the tiff.aiea in Wash, ington
County, the mbst e~ploited region in the St. Louis archdiocese.
Through ,his generous assistance and that of Auxiliary Bishop:
Charles tt.’Helmsing and Rev. Edward A. Bruemmer of Old Mines,
we moved in September, 1949, to Fertile iri the Old Mines parish,of
St. Joachim. We entered into parish, activity by beginning the in-struction
of ninety-one public-school children and visitation in their
homes and began extensive remodeling of an old brick residence eight
miles from church..
"The Rural Parish Worker program is adjusted to the,.needs of
the area and is always pointed to the development of Christian
homes and the strength.ening of parish life. In Washington County
the following activities take precedence: ~eligiotis and social welfare

h.ospitals,_a.nd clinics; Sunday instruction classes; preparation of con-verts:
home visiting, and instruction; interpretation of rights and

duties as citizens; assistance in obtaining State and Federal benefits,
doctors’ care, hospitalization.
"Some assistance is given to a few in adjoining parishes. HOw-ever,
since.our home parish of St. ,loachim is one hundred and fifty
square miles in size with poor and sometimes no roads,, it occupies
most of our time. Attendance at civic meetings and participation in
civic affairs are also on the agenda, as are outside works, such as land-scaping,
building of small buildings, care of goats, and gardening
when we can get to it.
"Yearly summer sessions ~nd a year-of-service program are
offered to young women thinking of the lay apostolate as a way of
life or who wish to give at least part of their lives in. concentrated
work for the restoration of Christ in society.
"Last fall Rev. Bede Scholz, O.S.B., of Plus X Monastery in
Labadie, Mo., was appointed by the Most Rev. Archbishop as our
spiritual director. Father Bede, then at Conception Abbey, Concep-tion,
Mo., had helped form us in the early days. (We would go for
a week of spiritual refreshment to Conception.) Father Bede,
Rt. Rev. Monsignor Martin B. Hellriegel, and Rev. Charles P.
Schmitt were our spiritual advisers for several years when we lived in
St. Charles County.
"At the beginning we had literally nothing except a few dollars
we had saved when working, a typewriter, phonograph and records
¯ bought for the work, our clothes and personal little belongings. Yet
we have neve’r been in want and God has sent everything as it was
needed for our neighbors and for us. Today many are assisting by
prayer, donations of money and materials. The bills are always
with us but we know that Almighty God is also, and we have no
fears for the future. We know He will do with us as He wishes and
that is all we want. It is with humble hearts that we look back over
twelve years of labor in His vineyard and it is with confidence that
we invite others--young women from all over the United States--to
come to Fertile, to the Center of the Rural Parish Workers of Christ
the King, and lend their talents and their labors in this rural aposto-late
of service based on the spiritual arid corporal works of mercy for
the glory of God and the development of Christian homes; to come
to Fertile and help in the world-wide work "of the Church today--
the restoration of Christ to society."

XII INDULTS OF SECULARIZATION
New practice of the Holy See.. Secularizati-on is the voluntary de-parture
from religion, authorized by an indult of competent ecclesi-astical
authority, in virtue of which the subject is separated com-pletely
and perpetually from membership in the institute and is freed
absolute.ly from all obligations contracted by. religious profession.
Since secularization dispenses from all religious vows, even if solemn,
it is co~nmonly also called a dispensation from the vows of religion.
The Holy See alone may grant secularization in pontifical institutes;
in diocesan congregations the Ordinary of the place where the, reli-gious
is staying is also competent.34
.Indults of secularization granted by the Holy. See for those who
are not priests now contain the following sentence: "This decree
ceases to have any validity if not accepted by the petitioner within
ten days after being informed of the executorial decree.’qs" It has
long been a clea~ principle of canon law .that an indult of seculariza-tion,
even ~hou.gh freely petitioned,, may be refused and has no effect
until accepted by the religious in question,z6
If within the ten days: (a) the indult is expressly accepted, it
becomes effective immediately;37 (b) the induli is neither accepted
nor refused, it ceases to have any validity at the end of this period;
(~’) the indult is definitively refused, all validity of the indult cer-tainly
ceases at the end of ten days and. at least more probably
immediately upon the definitive refusal.3s In practice a new indult is
to be petitioned if the religious repents of his refusal and wishes again

to leave during the ten-davy period. ,"
The practice of the Holy See is not to grant the indult directly to
the religious but to give to an intermediary person, for example, the
local Ordinary, the f~iculty of granting the indult of secularization to
the religious. The actual granting of the indult by this intermedia’ry
person is called the executorial decree. The ten days begin to run
-from the time the religious is officially notified of the granting of this
executorial decree, not from the date of notification of the deciee of
the Holy See. The day of notification is not computed. If the no-tification
is given on August 1, the ten days expire at midnight of
August 1 1-12. This time does not run for any period in which the
religious was ignorant of or unable to exercise his right of acceptance
and refusal.
XII. GENERAL CHAPTER
1. Constitutions rec.ently appro~)ed by the Holy See. One congrega-tion
of sisters had difficulty in persuading the S. C. of Religious to
approve in a general revision of its constitutions the designation of
the Secretary and Bursar General by appointment rather than by
election. Appointment was approved about the same time in another
general revision without any difficulty and had been permitted in
some constitutions approved by the Holy See in the past. The num-ber
in the grouping of the smaller houses for the election of delegates.
is now rather constantly stated to be at least twelve and not more
than twenty-three professed. The S. C. of Religious is consistently
including in constitutions an article stating that the duties of the pre-siding
local Ordinary or his delegate terminate at the proclamation of
the election of the mother general.39 Some recent constitutions con-tain
the prescription of the Normae of 1901: "If the Ordinary. is ac-companied
by one or more priests, these may in no way take part in
the election.’’40 The present practice of the Holy See permits not
only the secretary general but also the bursar general to be elected a
general councillor but neither may be elected as the first councillor.
The same practice now rather consistently gives the general chapter
the right of declaring matters to be of greater importance and subject
to the deliberative vote of the general council.. Some recent constitu-tions.
also give to the general chapter and council the’right to deter-

min~ matters as subject to the deliberative vote of-the local council.
The S. Congregation corrected one set of constitutions to read~
" . . .the newly elected M6.thfir General shall appoint one or seoeral.
committees...to examine and arrange the’proposals to the Gerieral
Cfiapter and to furnish a report concerning them." Even if not so’
stated in the constitutions, several committees may be appointed be~
cause of the amount of work or for greater efficiency and lack of time,
since several committees are not forbidden by the constitutions.
2. Indult’s. One congregation of si’sters secured an indult from the
Holy Se~ permitting th~ anticipation of its next general chapter by’
six months. The principal reason given in the petition was the ex-~
p~nse and extensive travel that would be required foi the’ capitulars’
to return to the motherhouse two months after all had been present
there for the annual retreat. ~
Another congregation of sisters requested a change, in its constitu- ’
tions by which the novice mistress would be a member of thegeneral
chapter in virtue of her offce. The S. C. of Religious replied: "It is
not expedient.’" Canonical authors had stated that such a provision
was not in accord with the practice of the S. Congregation,4x but a.~
similar article had been approved in a very small number of constitu-.
tions in the past.
A congregation of sisters was to hold in the United States an ex-traordinary
general chapter,, which the delegates of the provinces be-yond
the "iron curtain" would not be able to attend. The S. C. of
Religious gave to a local Ordinary the faculty of permitting their
votes to be sent by letter or for these provinces to choose delegates
here who would cast their votes.
3. Roman meeting. The subjects touched upon at this meeting of
superioresses general appear to have been the following: (a) The
Holy See is opposed to the immediate re-election, or rather postula-tion.,
of a mother general beyond the limits prescribed in the consti-tutions.
Similarly the Holy See only for serious reasons grants a
dispensation permitting a local superior to be given a third successive
three-year term in the same house. (b) Two excesses are verified in
~lections, an indifference that results in ignorance of the eligible and’
suitable and electibneering. (c) Young religious should not be ex-.
cluded from higher offices’ if they have the necessary natural and spit-.
itual qualifications. .,

287.
JOSEPH F. GALLEN Review/:or Religious
These subjects present nothing new,4z but the. light thrown on
the abuse of electioneering is very Opportune. Electioneering is the
deliberate seeking of votes, directly or indirectly, to elect a particular
person, or one person rather than another, or to exclude anyone from
being elected. The simple seeking of information concerning the
abilities or defects of those eligible and the communication of such
information to. others, without any attempt at persjaasion, is not for-bidden,
and is very frequently necessary and laudable.
It is.:remarkable.how often the matter of elections can blind the
moral sense of even very good religious. This reason alone has per-suaded
the present writer to hold rigidly to the conviction, that in
any general revision of the constitutions elections should, be restricted
to those absolutely necessary. Only the offices of the superior gen-eral
and of his or her councillors demand election. Every religious
should have the permanent resolution of nevei uttering a word about
future elections in his institute until after he has meditated daily for
at least a week on the will of God.
XIII. MONASTERIES OF NUNS
I. Federations and Con/¥derations. The only federation or con-fdderation
affecting American monasteries of nuns that has been made
public is that of the Visitandines. The pohtifical constitution Spon~a
Christi and the accompanying Instruction should be carefully studied
by all nuns. Unwise and exaggerated changes are to be avoided in
any state of life, "but no religious institute can reasonably exclude
progress and prudent adaptation to .the times; Federations and con-federations
are highly recommended by Plus XII in Sponsa, Christi.
2. Restoration o[ solemn ~ows. In 195 1-52 eighteen monasteries of
nuns-in the United States secured permission from the Holy See for
the taking of solemn vows.43 The restoration of solemn vows is at
least strongly urged on all monasteries of nuns in Sponsa Christi. If
serious reasons exist against this restoration in any monastery, such
reasons are to be submitted to the S. C. of Religi6us for examina-tion.
44.
The form of the decree granting solemn vows is uniform.. The
provisions are: (a) Papal cloister must be observed as’ described in
