Complicit absolution is an offense in
canon law consisting of the absolution of a party complicit with the absolving priest in an offense. Because it constitutes the abuse of a sacrament, it is held to be sacrilege
.
Some cases involve secular clergy in the
Crimen sollicitationis and De delictis gravioribus.[1]
