Normas nonnullas is a motu proprio of Pope Benedict XVI. In this the pontiff proclaims new instructions concerning the election of a future pontiff in Conclave.

Text

First Sentence : Normas nonnullas per Apostolicas Litteras De aliquibus mutationibus in normis de electione Romani Pontificis Motu Proprio die XI mensis Iunii anno MMVII, tertio Nostri Pontificatus, datas, statuimus, quae, cum eas abrogarent normas quae in numero 75 continentur Constitutionis Apostolicae Universi Dominici gregis quam die XX mensis Februarii anno MCMXCVI Decessor Noster beatus Ioannes Paulus II promulgavit, normam statuerunt, traditione sancitam, ad quam, ut valida Summi Pontificis habeatur electio, duae ex tribus partes suffragiorum omnium Cardinalium electorum praesentium semper requiruntur.

Context

The pope gave this instruction on February 22, 2013 at the end of his pontificate.[1] It amends the Universi Dominici gregis instructions. The cardinals are given more choice on the date that the conclave can be opened, and important restrictions are given to the papal household and other lay people involved in the election, who shall be excomunicated if they reveal secrets of the Sacred election.
