The contribution examines the possibilities and forms of implementation of consensual remedies in the management of different types of disputes in the Church: conciliation or mediation, settlement and arbitration. In spite of a general principle of favor conciliationis, transposed from the previous historical tradition, the current legislation dedicates few and restrictive canons to the use of consensual methods, without providing either special bodies or specific procedures for their implementation. Through a systematic interpretation and de iure condendo proposals, an attempt is made to incentivise alternative methods to litigation for resolving disputes, in order to promote more co-responsible and peaceful relations of the faithful among themselves and with the hierarchical authorities.
