Decreta & Responsa : Commentary
A. d. VII Kal. Qui. K. Buteone Po. Minucia cos. ‡ MMDCCLIX a.u.c. on the ReligioRomana e-mail list (message 8854 in the archive) A. Apollonius asked about decreta and responsa:
- Is this intended to be a technical distinction and, if so, what do the pontifices intend the terms to mean?
Q. Metellus pontifex replied (message 8855):
- Simply, [decreta] carry specific legal implications, per the lex constitutiva. [A responsum] however, does not carry any specific legal implications, and is simply a statement by the College on a given topic (i.e., a response).
- As things go on, however, I think we will be seeing more responsa and less decreta, though only time can tell.
- When this is sorted we can make nice templates to put on top explaining which each article is.
