Description
A Practical Guide to the Code of Canon Law: Understanding Justice in the Church. Canon law is often seen as remote from everyday life, but its impact can be felt when dealing with important matters such as marriage, baptism, and clergy conduct. In recent years, scandals have highlighted the need for clear laws and mechanisms to ensure justice within the Church. This book seeks to connect the Church's law with the values of the Gospel, particularly justice, which guides those called to follow Christ. The focus of canon law is on how we treat one another as members of the People of God and participate in our common mission. It is an instrument of justice in service of the Church and its mission. The revision of canon law that led to the 1983 Code for the Latin Church aimed to reflect the key teachings of the Second Vatican Council. By exploring the principles of canon law, this book aims to provide a deeper understanding of how justice can be applied within the Church.
