Articles 1399 and 2318 of Canon Law are repealed by this decree. This decree of repeal was approved on October 14, 1966 by His Holiness the Sovereign Pontiff Paul VI, who at the same time ordered the publication. This approval by the Holy Father took place during an audience with His Eminence Cardinal Ottaviani, Pro-Prefect for the “Congregation of for the Doctrine of the Faith.” The decree was made in Rome, November 15, 1966 and has the signature of:
  1. Cardinal Ottaviani, Pro-Prefect B. Párente, Secretary 
(*) The decree took effect three months after its publication, on March 29, 1967.     CANON 1399 Canon 1399 prohibited by right the publication of certain books such as those about revelations, visions, prophecies, and miracles. THE CANON WAS REVOKED ON MARCH 29, 1967. Therefore, this means Catholics have the permission—without the imprimatur or Nihil-Obstat, or another permission—to make publications about revelations, visions, prophecies, and miracles. Of course, these publications cannot endanger Faith or Morality. This is the general rule every Catholic must follow in every action, as far as what is reported, especially reporters. WITH ALL THE MORE REASON IT IS PERMITTED FOR CATHOLICS TO FREQUENT SITES OF APPARITIONS, EVEN THOSE NOT RECOGNIZED BY THE ORDINARIES OF THE DIOCESE OR BY THE HOLY FATHER, GIVEN THAT THE CATHOLIC VISITORS THAT VISIT OR FREQUENT THESE SITES MUST RESPECT FAITH AND MORALITY. Nevertheless, they are not subject to any ecclesial discipline, not even for their public prayers. Permission is only required for the celebration of the Holy Mass or any other religious service. CANON 2318  Canon 2318 carried punishments against those who violated the censorship and prohibition laws. THIS CANON WAS REVOKED SINCE 1966. ECCLESIASTICAL CENSORSHIP CANNOT BE INCURRED FOR FREQUENTING PLACES OF APPARITIONS NOT EVEN THOSE NOT RECOGNIZED BY ORDINARIES OF THE DIOCESE OR BY THE HOLY FATHER. Also, “those who have incurred censure death with in Canon 2318 will be absolved by act of abrogation of this Canon” – Cardinal Ottaviani.
