Ecclesiastical crime

http://dbpedia.org/resource/Ecclesiastical_crime

An ecclesiastical crime is a crime (delictum) related to the clergy where the crime is against canon law. Compare civil law. The crime of Simony is the ecclesiastical crime of paying for offices or positions in the hierarchy of a church. The crimes of Schism and Heresy are also ecclesiastical crimes. Older examples include "perjury", the breaking of a (contractual promises made by oath or pledge of faith), and this was treated as an ecclesiastical crime. Some crimes have or have had both an ecclesiastical and a civil element to the crime; suicide and witches are counted here. rdf:langString
