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.
