THE MODE OF EXERCISE OF THE POWER OF GOVERNANCE IN THE INTERNAL FORUM

Abstract

The power of governance is exercised either in the external forum or in the internal forum. Since one and the same power is exercised in both forums, the internal forum is no more considered as an exclusive domain of moral order. The manner of its exercise distinguishes the difference between the two forums. In the internal forum, the power is exercised in a hidden or secret manner. The favours, such as dispensations of impediments, remissions of penalty, etc. are granted in the internal forum.
