Canon Law: Fr. Maciel was not 'suspended' (+ Brazilian excommunication clarification)

From the In the Light of the Law blog (which was recently described in the National Catholic Register as the "only canon law blog on the internet" - a factually arguable but functionally correct assertion), comes this important clarification regarding the ex-leader of the Legionaries of Christ:

"I would caution against describing Maciel having been "suspended" or "penalized" by the Holy See."

[Read why here.]

See also (unrelated to Maciel, but related to Canon Law): "Brazilian excommunication warning."
