La rglementation sur la consultation des registres dans les glises
catholiques au Qubec dit qu'une personne, qui a un intrt, peut consulter
un registre, mais que cette consultation se fait de faon indirecte, par
extrait ou certificat. Le registre n'est jamais remis aux mains des
personnes qui viennent consulter pour respecter la confidentialit des
renseignements qui sont consigns au registre : illgitimit des enfants
dans les registres plus anciens, dclaration de nullit d'un mariage
antrieur quand le fait n'est pas connu dans un milieu, etc.
