On The Most Holy Sacrament Of Penance, Canon XI
ON THE MOST HOLY SACRAMENT OF PENANCE
CANON XI.--If any one saith, that bishops have not the right of reserving cases to themselves, except as regards external polity, and that therefore the reservation of cases hinders not but that a priest may truly absolve from reserved cases; let him be anathema.
