Harmony of the Law - Volume 4 Harmony of the Law - Volume 4 Author(s): Calvin, John (1509-1564) Calvin, Jean (1509-1564) (Alternative) Bingham, Charles William (Translator) Publisher: Grand Rapids, MI: Christian Classics Ethereal Library Description: Calvin©s Harmony of the Law is his commentary on the books Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy. Whereas the majority of Calvin©s commentaries are chronologically arranged--beginning with the first verse in a book, and ending with the last--Harmony of the Law is arranged topically, for Calvin believed that his topical arrangement would better present the various doctrines of "true piety." A remarkable commentary, Harmony of the Law contains Calvin©s discus- sion of the Ten Commandments, the usefulness of the law, and the harmony of the law. Harmony of the Law instructs readers in both the narrative history of the Old Testament and the practical importance and use of the Old Testament teachings. Harmony of the Law is highly recommended, and will demonstrate to a reader why Calvin is regarded as one of the best commentators of the Reformation.

The Lord our God spoke to us in Horeb. In this Second Narration, Moses expressly declares that God not only gave them a visible sign, by uplifting the cloud, but that He also verbally commanded the people to leave Mount Sinai, and to set about the performance of the rest of their journey. God says, then, that enough time had been spent in one place; 1 for, before they left it, an entire year had passed away there. Although there were eleven days’ journey before them before they would arrive at Kadesh-barnea, nevertheless, lest anything should delay the people, who were naturally but too indolent, tie stimulates them by setting before them the ease with which it might be accomplished, telling them that they had but to lift up their feet and advance, in order to attain the promised rest. 1 “Et non sans cause;” and not without reason. — Fr. 2 Numbers 9:17-23 Numbers 9:17-23 Numbers 9 Numbers 9:17-23 17.

We do have such an on-going puzzle in canon law; it is the prima facie conflict between the demand of stability and the imperative of development. Stability is an essential quality of any good legal system because a community's lav{s are an expression of its identity, and there is no identity without permanency. Many times we hear in the United States that we are a country held together by our laws. Although the statement cannot be the full truth, it is obvious that if our laws ever lost their stability, the nation's identity would be imperiled. In a relig­ ious community where the source of its identity is in the common memory of a divine revelation, the demand for stability is even stronger.

Surprisingly, Protestant jurists often cited Roman canon law and its jurisprudence long after Martin Luther burned books of Roman canon law at the Elster gate in Wittenberg. These jurists also continued to teach courses at the universities that treated the Ius canonicum. Consequently, an essay on Protestant canon law must confront the question: how much Roman canon law and the jurisprudence of the medieval Ius commune remained embedded in the Reformers’ legislation and jurisprudence and how much was rejected? Until relatively recently scholars answered that question largely according to their confessional affiliations.

    CHAPTER 11 AND THE CHURCH: GOVERNING LAW IN CHURCH BANKRUPTCIES ABA CHAPTER 11 SUBCOMMITTEE PROGRAM NATIONAL CONFERENCE OF BANKRUPTCY JUDGES MIAMI, FLORIDA SEPTEMBER 27 - 30, 2015 PATRICK A. JACKSON YOUNG CONAWAY STARGATT & TAYLOR, LLP RODNEY SQUARE 1000 NORTH KING STREET WILMINGTON, DELAWARE 19801 302-576-3588 [email protected] 01:17328835.2 GOVERNING LAW IN CHURCH BANKRUPTCIES1 Speaking from experience, the chapter 11 bankruptcy of a church entity is an entirely different animal from a commercial chapter 11 case—so much so that it requires a different mindset when approaching it. What follows is a discussion of some of the legal principles that apply to a religious nonprofit entity that are not ordinarily (if ever) implicated in a commercial bankruptcy proceeding. A. Special Bankruptcy Code Provisions Applicable to Church Debtors Section 303(a) of the Bankruptcy Code provides that an involuntary bankruptcy petition may not be filed against “a corporation that is not a moneyed, business, or commercial corporation.” 11 U.S.C. § 303(a). The legislative history describes this as a continuation of the Bankruptcy Act of 1898’s prohibition on involuntary bankruptcy relief against “eleemosynary [i.e., charitable] institutions” such as “churches, schools, and charitable organizations and foundation[s].”2 In its chapter 11 case, Catholic Diocese of Wilmington, Inc. (“Wilmington”) took the position that the non-consensual substantive consolidation of non-debtor affiliates with Wilmington’s bankruptcy estate (which the creditors’ committee had sought by way of an adversary proceeding) was outside the scope of the bankruptcy court’s equitable powers under § 105(a) of the Bankruptcy Code because it would permit an end-run around § 303(a)’s 1 By Patrick A.

THE FIRST AMENDMENT AND CANON LAW BRENDAN F. BROWN* N THE FIRST PERIOD, from 1871 to 1898, the Supreme Court of the United States determined the relationship between the law of the state and that of the church on the basis of natural law. In 1871, the Court decided the epoch-making case of Watson v. Jones.' In that case the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church in the United States had condemned the institution of slavery. This resulted in a schism in which each faction claimed title to the property of a local church in Kentucky. The supreme court of that state ruled that the General As- sembly had exceeded its jurisdiction. Some of the parties to the dis- pute lived in Indiana. Because of this diversity of citizenship, the case was properly brought into the federal courts. The Supreme Court of the United States upheld the validity of the action of the General Assembly, and recognized that the title to the property in question belonged to the anti-slavery faction.

    THE CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY OF AMERICA The Canonical Form of Marriage in Latin Law and in Oriental Law: A Comparative Study With References to the Application of Catholic-Byzantine Law to Selected Pastoral Concerns In Eastern Europe. A DISSERTATION Submitted to the Faculty of the School of Canon Law Of The Catholic University of America In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree Doctor of Canon Law © Copyright All Rights Reserved By Benone Farcas Washington, D.C. 2010 The Canonical Form of Marriage in Latin Law and in Oriental Law: A Comparative Study With References to the Application of Catholic-Byzantine Law to Selected Pastoral Concerns In Eastern Europe. Benone Farcas, J.C.D. Director: John Beal, J.C.D. Book IV of the 1983 Code of Canon Law, title VII, chapter V and the Code of Canons of the Eastern Churches, title XVI, chapter VII, article VI govern the canonical form of marriage. In many ways the provisions of the two codes are similar; in some instances, however, they differ. Both the similarities and the differences have pastoral consequences, especially in cases of mixed marriages or in territories where a hierarchical organization of various Oriental Catholic churches sui iuris does not exist. The purpose of this dissertation is to examine the canonical form of marriage by comparing the Latin and Oriental canonical legislations and analyzing the pastoral consequences that arise when laws concerning canonical form of marriage are applied in specific areas, especially in light of recent political and social changes in Eastern Europe. This comparative study of the canonical form of the marriage in the Latin and in the Catholic Oriental law, especially within the Byzantine rite, begins with an historical overview of the issue in both the Latin and the Byzantine traditions focused on specific documents and circumstances that had a significant impact on the evolution of canonical form.
