WHAT FURTHER ACTION HAPPENS AFTER THE TRIBUNALS DECISION?
Every marriage case must receive an Affirmative Decision at two Tribunals. For the Archdiocese of Omaha the second tribunal is the diocesan Tribunal of the Second instance which convenes inSt. Louis, Missouri. When a disagreement is lodged against the Tribunal’s decision, Church law allows for an appeal. Appeal can be made only on the basis of substantial and new information not included in the previous examination. Final appeal is to the Sacred Roman Rota in Rome.
