It dominates at events such as the recent Family Synods and the Jubilee Years. At the same time, it poses a significant problem for cases dealing with sexual abuse. Mercy calls to consider an individual's needs and this conflicts with justice necessitating equal treatment for everyone. Mercy applies to the fallible individual deserving of punishment, but who is saved by grace. This is most apparent in the Sacrament of Penance and other forms of penitence, forgiveness, and reconciliation where mercy both transcends and undermines justice. This problem, widely ignored in church teaching, is addressed by Dirk Ansorge, James Dallen, Judith Hahn, Atria A. Larson, Sandra Lassak, Michael A. Nobel, Rosel Oehmen-Vieregge, Heike Springhart, and Gunda Werner. 410 0$aBrill's studies in Catholic theology ;$vvolume 9. 606 $aReligion and law 606 $aPunishment (Canon law) 606 $aPenitentials 606 $aPenance (Canon law) 606 $aMercy 615 0$aReligion and law. 615 0$aPunishment (Canon law) 615 0$aPenitentials. 615 0$aPenance (Canon law) 615 0$aMercy. 676 $a262.9/44 702 $aHahn$b Judith$f1978- 702 $aWerner$b G$g(Gunda), 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910819241303321 996 $aMercy and justice$94009156 997 $aUNINA
