The book is an extract from my doctorate degree thesis dealing with the formal requirements for the celebration of marriage: a comparative study of canon law, Nigerian statutory law, and customary law. It is universally recognized that consent of parties brings about marriage. But for consent to result in marriage, it must be validly exchanged/manifested. Formal requirements for marriage celebration deals with valid exchange of consent. The work thus concentrates on what makes a valid matrimonial consent under the Nigerian law.
The persecution of the church in Iraq is one of the great tragedies of the twenty-first century. In this short, yet sweeping account, Cardinal Filoni, the former Papal Nuncio to Iraq, shows us the people and the faith in the land of Abraham and Babylon, a region that has been home to Persians, Parthians, Byzantines, Mongols, Ottomans, and more. This is the compelling and rich history of the Christian communities in a land that was once the frontier between Rome and Persia, for centuries the crossroads of East and West for armies of invaders and merchants, and the cradle of all human civilization. Its unique cultural legacy has, in the past few years, been all but obliterated. The Church in I...
This book is about ecumenism, from a Catholic point of view. The first part, chapters 1 and 2, describe the history of divisions within the Church, as well as of the efforts to bring about Christian unity. The second part examines Ecumenism from a systematic theological perspective. This first part takes into account the different factors that led to definitive ruptures within the Church, which usually are not only theological. The text gives useful information about what happened after the respective divisions as well as about the various attempts to restore unity, the development of the Ecumenical Movement in the 20th Century, and the current situation of ecumenical dialogue within the Cat...
In recent years the arguments in favor of married priests seem to be multiplying. Some object that celibacy is not a dogma but only a discipline that originated in the Middle Ages; that it is contrary to nature and hence harmful to a man's psycho-physical equilibrium and the maturation of the human personality. And if priests could marry, there might be an increase in vocations. In this book, various experts make contributions, responding to these and other crucial questions, allowing the reader to discover the value that celibacy has today in the lilves of thousands of priests and seminarians. - book cover.
When Monsignor Thomas J. Green, professor at the School of Canon Law at The Catholic University of America, approached his seventy-fifth birthday and the fiftieth anniversary of his priestly ordination, his colleagues planned on offering him a fitting tribute in the form of a festschrift. Six people with different backgrounds, but all related to Msgr. Green on one way or another, have written a laudatio – a short congratulatory letter – in honor of Monsignor Green. No less than fifteen contributions on various topics by colleagues, canon law scholars, clearly relate and reflect upon the honoree's scholarly contributions to canon law. The topics are extremely varied, and illustrate how Mo...
L’opera Studi sul diritto del governo e dell’organizzazione della Chiesa, in due volumi, contiene 90 saggi originali di giuristi – principalmente canonisti – di 14 paesi diversi. Illustra l’attualità di un settore di ricerca e di prassi del diritto della Chiesa bisognoso di riflessione e di approfondimento. Il pregio dell’opera, con i contributi dei singoli autori, è inscindibilmente legato all’occasione che ha portato a promuoverla: il settantesimo compleanno di S.E.R. Mons. Juan Ignacio Arrieta. Un ampio settore della comunità scientifica, dedita allo studio del diritto della Chiesa nelle sue diverse declinazioni, ha accolto la chiamata a farsi interpellare da argomenti ch...

Di antara ketujuh sakramen Gereja, sakramen baptis merupakan yang sangat fundamental karena mendasari penerimaan sakramen-sakramen lainnya. Sakramen baptis adalah ‘ianua sacramentorum’ pintu masuk kedalam sakramen-sakramen lain. Sakramen ini diperlukan untuk keselamatan, membebaskan manusia dari dosa, melahirkannya kembali sebagai anak-anak Allah dan mengabungkannya dengan Gereja. Dengan menerima baptisan, seseorang dijadikan serupa dengan Kristus melalui meterai yang tak terhapuskan. Legislator Gereja universal mengelaborasi prinsip teologis-yuridis fundamental ini ke dalam berbagai ketentuan normatif sebagaimana tertuang dalam Kitab Hukum Kanonik 1983 secara khusus dalam buku IV tentan...
