Notification (Holy See) Notification (Holy See) A notification by the Holy See is an official announcement by a department of the Holy See, the leadership of the Catholic Church in Rome. The term used in Latin is "notitiae", and in Italian it is "notificazione". English translations most frequently use the similar word "notification", but sometimes use the word "note" or, as is more common for similar announcements by English-speaking entities, the word "notice". A notification is issued "by one with executive authority, which usually serves as a reminder of something contained in the law, or explains more clearly the meaning of a law".
