Abstract
Given further legal formalization of the diaconal nature of ecclesiastical governance and to consolidate the right of the ecclesial community to good governance, this study sets out from a de iure condendo perspective the explicit recognition of the right and duty of all Catholic people to play an active role in ‘denouncing’ the lack of suitability of holders of ecclesiastical office: either in the stage prior to appointment, by intervening in the administrative phase of the nomination process, or more importantly after the appointment has been made, should there be any incongruity between the office-holder and the post. The legal context to such a claim is complex and a large number of juridical aspects of canon law have been studied in order to address it; the issue is a challenging one but it can no longer be deferred.
