Reserved Cases
Cyclopedia of Biblical, Theological and Ecclesiastical Literature
among Roman Catholic casuists, are certain sins which are to be dealt with by higher ecclesiastics than the mere priest, who may, however, bestow absolution if the penitent be at the point of death. To this class of sins belong heresy, simony, sacrilege, and certain offences against the priesthood.
