How wordy are grants of faculties?

[Digitonomy]

Clerics must be given faculties for a number of different actions, such as hearing confessions. In at least some cases these faculties must be in writing, as we see here:

Can. 973 The faculty to hear confessions habitually is to be granted in writing.

I’m curious whether such written grants of faculties are just a brief, broad sentence or two, or if they are long-winded and detailed like the End User Licensing Agreements everyone clicks through on new software.

Here’s one example that I found from here in Canada.

I would guess they aren’t super long, but probably a little longer than a sentence or two.

[After reading the document linked to above]

I guess I’m wrong. Per the document above, I guess it’s as simple as this:

Bishop N. grants faculties to N. to …(A list of normal priestly things)… the Faculity to hear confessions. … (More priestly things).

Do an internet search for “pagella of faculties” and you’ll see some examples from dioceses that have made samples of these available on the internet. They’re usually very detailed (3 or 4 pages or more).
