Justice and Mercy Have Met
With the promulgation of the motu proprio Mitus iudex Dominus Jesus for the Latin Church and the motu proprio Mitis et misericors Jesus for the Eastern Catholic Churches, both dated August 15, 2015, Pope Francis addressed the calls during the Third Extraordinary General Assembly of the Synod of Bishops (October 5-19, 2014) for a simplified procedure for the declaration of the nullity of marriages. Pope Francis introduced a briefer process to be conducted by the diocesan bishop and he simplified the current ordinary nullity process. The new procedural norms went into effect on December 8, 2015. New legislation always challenges first and foremost the practitioner: how is the new legislation t...
The Concept of Ius and the Nature of Law in Thomas Aquinas
This collection of essays constitutes the fruit of a scholarly conference held in Rome in April 2023, which was organized by the Pontifical University of Saint Thomas Aquinas, the Pontifical University of the Holy Cross, and the Angelicum Thomistic Institute. The essays offer a scholarly reflection on various historical and doctrinal aspects of Aquinas's concept of ius, and on the extent to which this concept helps to illuminate his account of the nature of law, that is, of the juridical phenomenon. Each essay addresses, from the viewpoint of its specific topic, the implications of the Angelic Doctor's description of ius as the object of justice, as presented in the Secunda secundae of his S...
Canon Law
'Canon Law' explores the canon law of the Roman Catholic Church from a comparative perspective. The introduction to the book presents historical examples of antinomian and legalistic approaches to canon law.
The Key to Unlocking the Door to the Truth
Father Ignacio Gordon, SJ, taught canon law (the Catholic Church’s law) from 1960 until 1985 at the Pontifical Gregorian University in Rome, with a concentration on procedural law, or the laws on trials. By all testimonies, he was outstanding for the clarity of his teaching, his humble affection for his students, his indefatigable and hidden service to the Apostolic See, and his priestly zeal. Notable among his endeavors was an educational initiative for the ongoing formation of judges and other ministers of justice in ecclesiastical tribunals. In his teaching, he stressed the ecclesial importance and supernatural implications of procedural law in general, and the indispensability of the j...
Administrating Kinship: Marriage Impediments and Dispensation Policies in the 18th and 19th Centuries
From the late eighteenth century, more and more men and women wished to marry their cousins or in-laws. This aim was primarily linked to changes in marriage concepts, which were increasingly based on familiarity. Wealthy as well as economically precarious households counted on related marriage partners. Such unions, however, faced centuries-old marriage impediments. Bridal couples had to apply for a papal dispensation. This meant a hurdled, lengthy and also expensive procedure. This book shows that applicants in four dioceses – Brixen, Chur, Salzburg and Trent – took very different paths through the thicket of bureaucracy to achieve their goal. How did they argue their marriage projects? How did they succeed and why did so many fail? Tenacity often proved decisive in the end.
Josemaría Escrivá y Pedro Arrupe
Con la publicación de este libro se ha pretendido presentar las biografías comparadas de dos personajes que durante el siglo XX, -tan atroz y bárbaro-, a la vez que creativo y "liberador", habían pertenecido íntegramente a dos "submundos de sentido" dentro del universo religioso conocido como Iglesia católica. ¿Acaso esos personajes o los "conjuntos" en los que habían estado insertos desde los que habían trabajado y vivido, a los que habían servido, y desde lo que se habían proyectado sobre "lo demás", tenían algo que ver con las fuerzas dominantes generadoras o activadoras de relaciones de opresión..., o bien, por el contrario, pertenecían a la potencialidad emancipadora que, se supone, puede constituir la "causa y voluntad libre" de la humanidad consciente de sus posibilidades y de la misión humana -¿también dañina?... ?, ninguna de las dos "pertenencias" aparecían totalmente claras...
Revision of the Codes, An Indian-European Dialogue
In the Second Vatican Council (1962 - 65) the Catholic Church reached a new viewpoint of itself, both internally and externally. The Declaration Dignitatis Humanae developed this opinion of the individual as dignified (DH 2) and as a person equipped with his or her own sense of conscience (DH 3). Based on this form of dialogical thinking, the Council can tolerate varying forms of Christianity other than the Catholic form and accept other religions or beliefs. The canonical translations of this theological spin to the human person (DH 1) in this book are presented by Indian and European authors with a view to a revision of the Codices. Prof Dr Adrian Loretan Since 1996, he has taught Canon an...
