only a Bishop or priest, who judges and absolves, tends and heals in the name of Christ - but also the actions of the penitent: contrition, confession and satisfaction."

General absolution should only be used under the rare circumstances listed. My question is; if a bishop or cardinal allows general absolution to occur in their jurisdiction, who corrects them and prevails on them to "get it right"?
