Text of the page (random words):
ot just doctrinal or moral in nature but all encompassing of the human condition it has all the ordinary elements of a mature legal system 15 laws courts lawyers judges 15 a fully articulated legal code for the latin church as well as a code for the eastern catholic churches 16 principles of legal interpretation 17 and coercive penalties 18 it lacks civilly binding force in most secular jurisdictions those who are versed and skilled in canon law and professors of canon law are called canonists 19 or colloquially canon lawyers 20 canon law as a sacred science is called canonistics the jurisprudence of catholic canon law is the complex of legal principles and traditions within which canon law operates while the philosophy theology and fundamental theory of catholic canon law are the areas of philosophical theological and legal scholarship dedicated to providing a theoretical basis for canon law as a legal system and as true law in the early church the first canons were decreed by bishops united in ecumenical councils the emperor summoning all of the known world s bishops to attend with at least the acknowledgement of the bishop of rome or local councils bishops of a region or territory over time these canons were supplemented with decretals of the bishops of rome which were responses to doubts or problems according to the maxim roma locuta est causa finita est rome has spoken case is closed later they were gathered together into collections both unofficial and official the first truly systematic collection was assembled by the camaldolese monk gratian in the 11th century commonly known as the decretum gratiani gratian s decree pope gregory ix is credited with promulgating the first official collection of canons called the decretalia gregorii noni or liber extra 1234 this was followed by the liber sextus 1298 of boniface viii the clementines 1317 of clement v the extravagantes joannis xxii and the extravagantes communes all of which followed the same structure as the liber extra all these collections with the decretum gratiani are together referred to as the corpus juris canonici after the completion of the corpus juris canonici subsequent papal legislation was published in periodic volumes called bullaria by the 19th century this body of legislation included some 10 000 norms many difficult to reconcile with one another due to changes in circumstances and practice this situation impelled pope pius x to order the creation of the first code of canon law a single volume of clearly stated laws under the aegis of cardinal pietro gasparri the commission for the codification of canon law was completed under benedict xv who promulgated the code effective in 1918 the work having been begun by pius x it was sometimes called the pio benedictine code but more often the 1917 code in its preparation centuries of material was examined scrutinized for authenticity by leading experts and harmonized as much as possible with opposing canons and even other codes from the codex of justinian to the napoleonic code pope john xxiii initially called for a synod of the diocese of rome an ecumenical council and an updating to the 1917 code after the second ecumenical council of the vatican vatican ii closed in 1965 it became apparent that the code would need to be revised in light of the documents and theology of vatican ii after multiple drafts and many years of discussion pope john paul ii promulgated the revised code of canon law cic in 1983 containing 1752 canons it is the law currently binding on the latin western roman church the canon law of the eastern catholic churches which had developed some different disciplines and practices underwent its own process of codification resulting in the code of canons of the eastern churches promulgated in 1990 by pope john paul ii the institutions and practices of canon law paralleled the legal development of much of europe and consequently both modern civil law and common law bear the influences of canon law edson luiz sampel a brazilian expert in canon law says that canon law is contained in the genesis of various institutes of civil law such as the law in continental europe and latin american countries sampel explains that canon law has significant influence in contemporary society currently all latin catholic seminary students are expected to take a course in canon law c 252 3 some ecclesiastical officials are required to have the doctorate jcd or at least the licentiate jcl in canon law in order to fulfill their functions judicial vicars c 1419 1 judges c 1421 3 promoters of justice c 1435 defenders of the bond c 1435 in addition vicars general and episcopal vicars are to be doctors or at least licensed in canon law or theology c 478 1 and canonical advocates must either have the doctorate or be truly expert in canon law c 1483 ordinarily bishops are to have advanced degrees in sacred scripture theology or canon law c 378 1 5 st raymond of penyafort 1175 1275 a spanish dominican priest is the patron saint of canonists due to his important contributions to the science of canon law orthodox churches edit the greek speaking orthodox have collected canons and commentaries upon them in a work known as the pēdálion greek πηδάλιον rudder so named because it is meant to steer the church the orthodox christian tradition in general
