		Il "Crimen sollicitationis", in italiano crimine di provocazione, è il crimine, commesso da un chierico (presbitero o vescovo) che usi il sacramento della confessione per fare avances sessuali ai penitenti.
		Al crimen sollicitationis è equiparato nel documento (al Titolo V) il "crimine peggiore", cioè anche (punto 73.) gli atti osceni compiuti con giovani, di entrambi i sessi.
		Andrea Galli il 19 maggio, su Avvenire, osservava tra l'altro - a prova che la Crimen sollicitationis non fosse concepita per celare gli abusi - come (al punto 15.) questa obblighi chiunque fosse a conoscenza di un uso del confessionale per abusi sessuali a denunciare il tutto (in confessione), pena la scomunica.

	1962 document orders secrecy in sex cases: many bishops unaware obscure missive was in their archives.(World/Nation) - ... (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Crimen Sollicitationis dealt with canonical cases against a priest that could lead to removal from ministry or expulsion from the priesthood.
		The high degree of secrecy in Crimen Sollicitationis was also related to the fact that it dealt with the confessional.
		That Crimen Sollicitationis was not designed to "cover up" sex abuse, canonists say, is clear in paragraph 15, which obligates anyone with knowledge of a priest abusing the confessional for that purpose to come forward, under pain of excommunication for failing to do so.

		Crimen Sollicitationis develops a "structure of sin" that is analogous to social sin as defined in par.
		Crimen Sollicitationis is a total violation of Catholic moral ethics, just as are the evil Mafia type cover-up schemes the bishops used to obstruct justice in the present sex scandal.

	Untitled Document
		Crimen was introduced into a court suit in Springfield brought by Jane Martin, who said she was sexually abused as a child by the Rev. Robert E. Kelley, a priest of the Worcester Diocese.
		He does not believe that Crimen Sollicitationis was an intentional act by the church hierarchy to cover up abuse but said it shows a 1960s “mindset” of the hierarchy, which intended these things to be kept confidential.
		Supposedly, according to its canon lawyer defenders, the intent of Crimen Sollicitationis was later expanded to convey the church’s recognition that the abuse of another person by a member of the clerical caste was also a crime.

		The focus of the BBC presentation is Crimen Sollicitationis, a Vatican document that was promulgated in 1962.
		The program described that document as "secret," and claims credit for exposing it, although the full text of Crimen Sollicitationis was published in 2001 and covered extensively by Catholic publications in 2002.
		Because the document emphasizes the confidentiality of canonical trials, the BBC report suggested that the Vatican policy, and its enforcement by then-Cardinal Ratzinger, was an effort to conceal evidence of abuse.

		Crimen Sollicitationis seeks to copperfasten its papal injunctions with the threat of “excommunication” for any failures by any of the parties to maintain the diabolically inspired “oath of perpetual silence” to ensure the success of the cover-up of church crimes.
		Pope Benedict XVI is continuing this Vatican asylum policy in his unashamed support for those who wish to maintain their “oath of perpetual silence” as they participate in the cover-up instructions as outlined in Crimen Sollicitationis.
		The conclusion of Mr Barry that “the significance of the secrecy requirements in the document Crimen Sollicitationis is being blown out of proportion” is not a view shared by the thousands of innocent, traumatised victims of church abuses, members of their families, and concerned people everywhere.
