To hear the confessions of all the faithful who serve in the army or are somehow assigned to the army, to prisoners, if by chance they themselves are also in captivity, and - only in the places of war - to all the believers who come to them, to release them from any kind of reserved cases and censorship, subject to legal requirements, but with the obligation to turn to the holy penitentiary within six months of the war, under punishment of relapse, if they are censors, which are particularly reserved for the Apostolic See, or to those to which the Penitentiaries' Decree "Lex sacri caelibatus" of 18 April l936 refers. These rules should also apply to the granting of absolutions referred to in point 14. When a fight is imminent or begun: a) let all priests, even if not approved for confessional, remember that they have the authority to release all the soldiers immediately before the battle, or during them, as people in danger of death, from all possible sins and censorship, subject to legal requirements; (b) These priests may depart from all sins and any censorship which is somehow reserved or manifest with general formula or common absolution, without prior oral confession, but after a prescribed act of repentance, if, because of the multitude of soldiers or the lack of time, the individual cannot be heard confessionally, and those who have thus been redeemed for the Lord's Supper allow according to the type of /emission, but you should always teach the Büssendes that such a obtained absolution does not benefit if they are not in the right mood, and that they remain obliged to make a full and constant confession at the appropriate time;
