Universal indult



Universal indult is a term used primarily by traditionalist Catholics in a very specific sense. Since an indult signifies a favour granted to an individual or limited group;The canons of the Code of Canon Law that speak of indults concern only indults of secularization (684), exclaustration (686) or leaving an institute (688, 691, 692, 693, 727, 728, 745) granted to an individual religious, and of apostolic indults for erecting an association of the faithful (320) and in connection with allowing exceptions to laws about ordination (1015, 1019, 1021) a similar measure applied to every member of a particular class of persons would in reality be a change of the law, not an indult.
