Canonical admonitions are a preliminary means used by the Catholic Church towards a suspected person, as a preventive of harm or a remedy of evil.[1]
Canonical admonitions are part of previous canon law codes. Use of canonical admonition remains a step in the escalating punitive process in both the current 1983 Code of Canon Law of the Latin Church and the Code of Canons of the Eastern Churches of the Eastern Catholic Churches.[2]
