Canon law is the name given to the rules that govern church order and discipline of the Roman Catholic Church. This valuable book, which has been updated to reflect changes and adaptations in canon law and new resources in the field, offers an introductory orientation of all of canon law. A superb teaching and learning tool, it provides outlines and overviews of relatively complex areas of canon law, sketches the basic structure and design of the various offices and functions within the church and how they relate to each other, and gives an orientation to the more important areas of canon law, as well as a background and context within which more detailed rules can be understood. Two appendices offer guidance for doing canonical research and case studies for further discussion.

For many the law of the Church, canon law, has little meaning; it appears remote both from the Gospel and from the life of most people in the Church. Yet, it can impinge on them at times if a parish priest urges that a baptism be deferred, where a dispensation is needed for marriage or where there is a query about nullity of marriage. Recently, the scandals over clerical sexual abuse of children have drawn wider attention to the need for law also in the Church. At a time when it is popular to assert 'rights' of all sorts ― an identification of authentic rights and of corresponding duties in the Church, as well as mechanisms to ensure that these are respected in practice in a systematic way ― justice and law in the Church cannot be neglected. This book seeks to root the Church's law in the values of the Gospel, in particular in the justice which should guide the lives of those called to follow Christ and in the baptism by which they are incorporated into him and into his Church. The 'canon' or measure of how we should treat one another as members of the People of God and participate in our common mission in the service of that Gospel, according to our particular vocations and functions, is the focus of canon law. No law can replace the Gospel or the Holy Spirit, but canon law is an instrument of justice in the service of the Church and of its mission. The revision of canon law, which led to the Code of Canon Law of 1983 for the Latin Church, sought expressly to reflect the key teachings of the Second Vatican Council. That Code, beyond the general norms for understanding and applying its laws as a whole, centres upon the People of God in our common, diverse and complementary forms of living the Gospel, upon the Church's broad teaching function, and upon its sanctifying function, especially through the sacraments. It attends also to the temporal goods of the Church, for which there are responsibilities of stewardship, to penal law and sanctions and to procedural law ― the latter designed to ensure that practical implementation of the Church's law which is essential if its affirmations concerning justice and mission are not to remain vacuous. This book attempts to provide a theological and juridical introduction and explanation of these various aspects of the Church's life. The schematic presentation of 'key canons' is designed to enable the reader to understand the principal elements of a specific section and to see how those canons can be broken down so that their inter-related parts may be read, analysed and applied. The Code of Canon Law, then, can be seen as a valuable instrument in fulfilling the Church's mission for those with a passion for justice, rooted in the Gospel of Christ.

This Overview of the Canon Law of the Orthodox Catholic Church is a prcis of the lessons on Canon Law taught to undergraduate students of the Theological School of the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki from 1968; and, after the division of the School into two Departments in 1982, to the undergraduates of the Department of Pastoral and Social Theology. With the passage of time, the content of the lessons underwent adaptations and improvements because of what had in the meantime become His Eminence Panteleimon's established ecclesiological and canonical views on certain matters of Canon Law. These changes were small but nonetheless of the essence. The present edition does not constitute a complete system of Canon Law, but, as its title declares, is an overview thereof.

Consonant with its commitment to publish important works in the theological sub-field of canon law, St. Augustine''s Press is pleased to make available the first volume in a series that will undoubtedly endure as a masterpiece of scholarship. Carlos José Errázuriz has provided a comprehensive and insightful treatment of ecclesiastical law, beginning with its foundation--namely, the object of justice. In a time when many doubt such a reality in the Church, Errázuriz reacquaints the believer with the charismatic and ecclesiological origin of canon law and introduces the scientist to its unique structure and mechanisms. This is not a handbook. Errázuriz presents more than the current Code of Canon Law. His intention is instead to instill a realistic perspective of ecclesial right and law, and in doing so he fills a massive exegetical gap in English scholarship. This book currently stands alone in its class and dramatically broadens the contemporary approach to ecclesiastical law. In addition to offering a restored and richer ecclesiological orientation toward law, Errázuriz examines the thought of the most influential scholars of law and theology to date, among them Martin Luther, Rudolf Sohm, Klaus Mörsdorf, Eugenio Corecco and Javier Hervada. Errazuriz''s response to Sohm is particularly poignant. The sacraments are not empty rituals, but expressions and vehicles of divine grace. To be truly charismatic is not to be in opposition with the institutional. Sohm''s distinction between early and therefore authentic Christian charismatic leadership and later and therefore corrupt institutional regulation in the Roman Catholic Church is the origin of Max Weber''s famous account of "the routinization of charisma". The privileging of spontaneous leadership over legal institutions is as old as the ambivalence in the Old Testament about Israel''s shift from the rule of "judges" to the institution of kingship. In short, Errazuriz makes a powerful statement that vindicates the institution, which is integrally part of the "spontaneity" of Christ. Volume one also contains indispensable analyses of the trends of thought that over the centuries have created grooves in the European treatment of the relationship between the Church and society, and what it means to claim membership in both. No introduction to canon law available in English rivals Errázuriz''s description of ecclesiastical justice and its indication of communion and sacramentality. The availability of this work coincides with scandals and demands for justice in the Church and in the world. But what is justice, what are rights, in the Church? "These rights are the juridical goods--especially those that are directly salvific (such as the Word of God and the sacraments)--that are due each person and the Church itself as institution, in the economy of universal salvation operated by Christ and actualized in history by the Church in his name." No serious answers to practical issues and solutions can be realized without the bearings reestablished by Errázuriz''s first volume to his sweeping introduction to the study and discipline of canon law. Volume one contains the first three chapters of the original, Corso fondamentale sul diritto nella Chiesa (in two volumes, Giuffrè: Milan, 2009 and 2017): "Rights, Justice and Law in the Church," "Canon Law in History," and "The Configuration of Rights and Law in the Church." After Errázuriz, students who read the Code of Canon Law will no longer be confined to the limited perspective that has characterized American scholarship for the last century. Its appeal to canon lawyers is obvious, but it also demands the attention of theologians and political scientists alike for its illustration of the singular ecclesiastical notion of objective justice. As the scientist is a careful observer of the tides of civil government, so is the theologian beholden to this masterwork that offers a profound panorama of what the Church is, even in the post-modern era.

Not only inefficiency, but frustration, disorder, anger, and injustice threaten all human endeavors, no matter how pure their motives or high their ideals. That's why successful organizations always create employee handbooks and clear procedure manuals that delineate where authority lies, how conflicts are to be resolved, and, above all, how each organization's mission is (and is not) to be accomplished. Is it any wonder then that the Catholic Church—comprised not of 200 persons but 1.2 billion members in 200 countries—also governs itself by means of a handbook, which it calls the Code of Canon Law? Because handbooks and manuals concern themselves with the day-to-day inner working of organizations, they often reveal more than do news releases about the actual purposes and genuine spirit of organizations: a fact that's particularly true in the case of the Catholic Church. Indeed, if you want to know the Church for who She is, you need to be familiar with the Code of Canon Law. Unfortunately, it contains over 1,752 rules (or canons). Among them, you'll find fascinating canons that lay out the Church's official principles and procedures governing matters as various as abbots and annulments, scandals and Sacraments, monks and missions, bishops and books, priests and popes, synods and sacraments, homeschoolers, hostile witnesses, baptisms, burials, parishes, penance, confessions, Councils, impotence, imprimaturs, and, even marriages to the person who murdered your spouse! Thankfully, Vatican expert and veteran author Fr. Laurence Spiteri has in the pages of Canon Law Explained relieved you of the need to read all 1,752 of them (fascinating or not). Here he acquaints you with the fundamental canons by which the Church seeks to bring about, as it declares in the very last canon, the purpose all of them serve: "The salvation of souls, which must always be the supreme law in the Church." Fr. Spiteri's brief, but lucid explanations of the origins and meaning of the canons make sense of much that puzzles non-Catholics about our Church and that sometimes frustrates even us Catholics. As he relates the Church's laws and procedures directly to Christ's command "to go forth and teach all nations"—and to the role those laws and procedures play in your salvation and mine—Fr. Spiteri transforms what seem to be dry-as-dust rules into the sweet waters of salvation. If you want to know the Church for who She is—and to love Her more—Canon Law Explained is the book for you.
