However, in a few cases a bishop would need to name the person who violated the rule for them to be excommunicated.
Only offences from the 1983 Code of Canon Law still have legal effect in the church.
Since theological historians have doubts about the ecumenical character of council sessions, the session number and location of each ruling are included: The first unified code of canon law was produced in 1917, and it replaced all previous rules regarding excommunication which had come from councils and papal documents.
Therefore, only the 1983 code still has legal standing with regard to excommunicable offences.
