A Rescriptum Pontificum, also known as a Papal Rescript is an official written answer by the Pontifex Romanum (Roman Pontiff) to a formal petition regarding the interpretation or administration of Roman canon law and any associated law directly subject to it. A Papal Rescript is therefore technically equivalent to the highest form of “Judicial Appeal” in the Western Roman legal system.

While the origin of Rescriptum Pontificum (Papal Rescripts) is first claimed from the Decrees of Gregory IX (Decretales Gregorii Noni) of 1234, Papal Rescripts only legitimately began to appear from the 17th Century after the first publication of the wholly fraudulent work known as Corpus Iuris Canonici from 1580.

While a Roman Pontiff is free to construct a range of forms of Rescriptum Pontificum (Papal Rescripts) in accordance with the claimed “legitimacy” of such remedy defined by Corpus Iuris Canonici, the three (3) most common primary forms of Papal Rescript are in forma gratiosa, in forma commissoria, in forma mixta :

(i) Rescript in forma gratiosa is generally used for the direct granting of a petitioned favor; and

(ii) Rescript in forma commissoria is generally used for the instruction of others subject to the laws of the Roman Death Cult and Western Roman Law in the granting of the petition; and

(iii) Rescript in forma mixta is generally used in directing a person holding claimed executor authority to examine and grant the petition.

A valid petition for Papal Rescript pre-supposes the truth of the allegations found in the petition and must comprise three (3) key elements being narrativo, supplica and causa:

(i) The narrativo or exposition is a brief itemized list of the facts associated with the petition; and

(ii) The supplica or petition is the actual prayer for relief detailing the primary motion or motions pleaded; and

(iii) The cause or reason(s) is the core arguments supporting the reason for the petition.

In accordance with the interpretation of canons as to the effect of “valid” issued Rescriptum Pontificum (Papal Rescripts) on lower bodies subject to the canon laws of the Roman Death Cult, Papal Rescripts are normally considered private rulings not intended to establish binding precedents and new original laws within a certain jurisdiction but persuasive precedents to lower bodies, who them of their own initiative amend their position.  As such, the effects of Papal Rescripts are rarely visible to the public via public acts of law or transcripts of court proceedings.

Given the powers and procedures of Rescriptum Pontificum (Papal Rescripts) are founded on the wholly fraudulent work known as Corpus Iuris Canonici from 1580, all Papal Rescripts are considered without force or effect of law, or legal and are therefore null and void ab initio (from the beginning).
