WHAT DOES OBREPTION MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Obreption and subreption

Obreption and subreption (both from the Latin word repo/reptum(genitive) to creep or crawl. The prefix, Ob- means 'towards, against, or, in the way of'; Sub- means 'under, or, close to') are terms used in ancient Roman law and in the church's canon law applied by the Catholic church to species of fraud by which an ecclesiastical rescript is obtained. Dispensations or graces are not granted unless there be some motive for requesting them, and the law of the Church requires that the true and just causes that lie behind the motive be stated in every prayer for such dispensation or grace. When the petition contains a statement about facts or circumstances that are supposititious or at least, modified if they really exist, the resulting rescript is said to be vitiated by obreption, which consists in a positive allegation of what is false. If, on the other hand, silence had been observed concerning something that essentially changed the state of the case, the concealment or suppression of statements or facts that according to law or usage should be expressed in an application or petition for a rescript is called subreption.
