Unless solicitation in connection with Confession was involved, not only the local bishop but also superiors of religious orders exempt from the jurisdiction of the local bishop could proceed, either by formal trial or non-judicially ("modo administrativo"), against members of those orders who had committed such crimes; superiors of non-exempt religious orders could also do so, but only non-judicially (74).
Osim ako solicitacija u vezi s pokorom nije bila uključena, ne samo mjesni biskup nego i poglavari religijskih redova izuzeti od jurisdikcije mjesnog biskupa mogli su postupati, formalnim postupkom ili nesudbenim putem ("modo administrativo"), protiv članova onih redova koji su počinili takve zločine; poglavari neizuzetih religijskih redova mogli su isto to učiniti, ali jedino nesudbenim putem (74).
