On April 2, 2023, Pope Francis issued a decree modifying canon 700 of the Latin Code of Canon Law to reflect a change in the length of time allowed for a person who has been dismissed to appeal the decision of the competent authority from “ten days” to “thirty days.” There in no need for the religious to request in writing that that the author revoke or correct the decree.
A similar change is made in canon 501 of the CCEO with a change from “fifteen days” to “thirty days.”
