CNL 601SACRAMENTAL LAW3
This course considers the canons of Book I and Book IV of the Code of Canon Law of 1983: General Norms and the Sanctifying Office of the Church. An introduction to the nature, purpose and history of ecclesiastical law will be given. Lectures will develop a method for the interpretation of the canons. A commentary on the canons of Book I will be offered. Book IV will be treated with the exception of Canons 1055 through 1165, that is, the canons on Matrimony. This course will examine the history and theological foundations of the norms, especially as they express the documents of the Second Vatican Council and post-conciliar liturgical revisions. Ample opportunity will be provided for the careful interpretation and application of the canons to practical cases. Program: Theology; Department: Pastoral Theology
