Mimořádné fakulty v Československu v letech 1948–1989
In addition to the ordinary faculties, i. e. the set of exceptions (dispensations, licenses, privileges, indultes) of general canon law, which the Apostolic See regularly granted to the nuncios and ordinaries of the local churches, these churches were also granted the extraordinary faculties at the time when the Church was endangered, especially if any contact was interrupted. In the 1950s, in addition to the well-known Mexican faculties, other secret authorizations or instructions appeared in Czechoslovakia: faculties for the Archbishop of Olomouc Matocha, for individual orders, and instructions for Slovak Jesuits concerning the possibility of ordaining bishops without prior consultation with the Apostolic See.
