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...
Conversion and the Politics of Religion in Early Modern Germany
The Protestant and Catholic Reformations thrust the nature of conversion into the center of debate and politicking over religion as authorities and subjects imbued religious confession with novel meanings during the early modern era. The volume offers insights into the historicity of the very concept of “conversion.” One widely accepted modern notion of the phenomenon simply expresses denominational change. Yet this concept had no bearing at the outset of the Reformation. Instead, a variety of processes, such as the consolidation of territories along confessional lines, attempts to ensure civic concord, and diplomatic quarrels helped to usher in new ideas about the nature of religious boundaries and, therefore, conversion. However conceptualized, religious change— conversion—had deep social and political implications for early modern German states and societies.
Ethos, Bioethics, and Sexual Ethics in Work and Reception of the Anatomist Niels Stensen (1638-1686)
This book offers a unique and comprehensive outline of the ethos, the bioethics and the sexual ethics of the renowned anatomist and founder of modern geology, Niels Stensen (1638-1686).

Enseignement Du Droit Ecclésiastique de L'état Dans Les Universités Européenes
There is great concern nowadays regarding the character and position of University studies all over Europe as the result of a possible coordination of University studies. Within this context, the subject of this book is the teaching and research activities of Universities and other European institutions in the field of Church-State relations. Four University scholars, Basdevant-Gaudemet, Puza, Kotiranta and Garcia Pardo, report along similar lines on the situation of University studies in this field in the different countries of the European Union. The first report also contains a historical description of the origins and development of the University studies of Church-State relations.
The Language of Canon Law
"This study explores the language of canon law, the legal order of the Roman Catholic Church. It seeks to bring the language of canon law into the law and language debate and in doing so better understand how the Roman Catholic Church communicates as a legal institution. It ex-amines the function of canon law language in ecclesiastical communications. It studies the character of canonical language, the grammar and terminology of canon law, and how it makes use of linguistic tricks and techniques to create its typical sound. It discusses the com-prehension difficulties that arise out of ambiguities in the law, out of transfer problems be-tween legal and common language, and out of canon law's...
Justitiabilität der Gewissensfreiheit
Dem Schutz des Gewissens kommt eine prominente Rolle zu. So ist es nach katholischem Verständnis kategorisch verboten, mittels Zwang auf das Gewissen einzuwirken. Auch im Völkerrecht wird die Gewissensfreiheit absolut, d. h. ohne Einschränkungsmöglichkeit, geschützt. Daraus schließen einige, der im kanonischen Strafrecht normierte Besserungszweck sei zu verwerfen, da das Gewissen des Rechtsbrechers akzeptiert werden müsse. Nach Ansicht anderer verstößt Missionierung gegen die völkerrechtliche Gewissensfreiheit. Eine Analyse der relevanten Rechtsbegriffe wie dem des Zwangs soll aufzeigen, ob derartige Ansichten tatsächlich tragfähig sind. Den Blick für die Möglichkeiten und Grenzen des Schutzes des Gewissens zu schärfen, ist dabei Ziel dieser Arbeit.
Die Rota Romana
Die Rota Romana ist eine der ältesten bestehenden Institutionen des Abendlandes. Als Ausdruck des päpstlichen Primates in Gerichtssachen nahm sie im Laufe des Spätmittelalters Gestalt an. Ihre konkrete Aufgabenstellung hat sich seitdem mehrfach gewandelt. Papst Pius X. verdankt sie ihre noch heute maßgebende Neuausrichtung. Die Studie versteht sich als rechtshistorische Gesamtdarstellung. Sie will aufzeigen, welche Funktionen die Rota jeweils zeitbedingt wahrnahm und welche Bedeutung ihr auch weiter in der Kirche zukommt. Gesetzliche Bestimmungen, partikularrechtliche Sonderregelungen und die praktische Umsetzung des Auftrags werden dazu eingehend untersucht. Ausführlich wird auf die gegenwärtig geltenden Bestimmungen eingegangen. Viele ausgewertete Quellen sind bisher unveröffentlicht.
