“• Everyone else is considered at least capable of
committing a crime by violating canon law, but
not all of them are subject to penalty. For example,

that they were violating a law; and those who acted
in self-defense with due moderation, among others
—though they may have committed
a crime— are not subject to canonical penalties.
