  • The Holy See
    The Holy See JOHN PAUL II Apostolic Letter Motu Proprio AD TUENDAM FIDEM, by which certain norms are inserted into the Code of Canon Law and into the Code of Canons of the Eastern Churches TO PROTECT THE FAITH of the Catholic Church against errors arising from certain members of the Christian faithful, especially from among those dedicated to the various disciplines of sacred theology, we, whose principal duty is to confirm the brethren in the faith (Lk 22:32), consider it absolutely necessary to add to the existing texts of the Code of Canon Law and the Code of Canons of the Eastern Churches, new norms which expressly impose the obligation of upholding truths proposed in a definitive way by the Magisterium of the Church, and which also establish related canonical sanctions. 1.From the first centuries to the present day, the Church has professed the truths of her faith in Christ and the mystery of his redemption. These truths were subsequently gathered into the Symbols of the faith, today known and proclaimed in common by the faithful in the solemn and festive celebration of Mass as the Apostles’ Creed or the Nicene-Constantinopolitan Creed. This same Nicene-Constantinopolitan Creed is contained in the Profession of faith developed by the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith,(1) which must be made by specific members of the faithful when they receive an office, that is directly or indirectly related to deeper investigation into the truths of faith and morals, or is united to a particular power in the governance of the Church.(2) 2.

  • Preface to the 2016 Revision of the Constitution to the Clergy
    Preface to the 2016 Revision of the Constitution To the Clergy, Religious and Laity of the Catholic Apostolic Church in North America Greetings: Nine years have passed since the last revision of the Constitution and Canons of CACINA. In 2007, relying on God’s guidance, we made many changes in our organization and in the way we function. The bishops moved away from the authoritarian power structure that had proven so problematic for other jurisdictions over the centuries, turning away from the traditional role of “governing, judging, and ruling.” Since 2007 the bishops have functioned as spiritual guides and chief pastors to the people, as well as protectors of the faith and doctrines of the Church, and arbiters of clergy conduct and discipline. Since 2007, the House of Delegates, made up of laity, deacons, and priests, now joins the bishops in governance of the church. Meeting annually at the General Assembly, the College of Bishops and the House of Delegates continue to guide and direct the Church and plan for its future. In particular, the members of laity of the Church are directly involved in the selection and preparation of candidates for ordination and are responsible for the management of Church funds. Finally, CACINA views the Canons as a living and dynamic document that guides us in our daily management of the affairs of the Church. Accordingly, the language of the Canons has been softened and, in some instances, its provisions have been made advisory or discretionary rather than mandatory. Revisions made to the Canons at this time were to separate operating procedures from the Canons with exception of Canon 10 which has been added to better define CACINA lay ministries.

  • The Catholic School According to the Code of Canon Law
    148 Catholic Education / December 2008 The Catholic School According to the Code of Canon Law Zenon Cardinal Grocholewski Prefect of the Congregation for Catholic Education For close to three decades, his Eminence Zenon Cardinal Grocholeski, worked at the Supreme Tribunal of the Apostolic Signatura as notary, chancellor, secre- tary and prefect. A professor, scholar, and canonist of exceptional ability, he is considered one of the world’s most prominent experts on the Code of Canon Law. In light of his competence and experience, The Servant of God Pope John Paul II, appointed his Eminence as Prefect of the Dicastery for Catholic Education in 1999. This rare combination and manifestation of intellect, expertise, and dedication is witnessed in the oration presented for publication, The Catholic School According to the Code of Canon Law delivered by His Eminence, as Prefect of the Congregation of Catholic Education on May 28, 2008 at Fordham University, New York. [Prelude by Gerald M. Cattaro, professor and execu- tive director of the Catholic School Leadership program at Fordham University, Graduate School of Education] Introduction feel truly honoured to receive an Honorary Doctorate of Humane Letters from the prestigious Fordham University: the Jesuit University of New I York. Saint Ignatius of Loyola—with his life of holiness, his love for the Church, his impressive obedience to the Successor of Peter, and his conse- quent fruitful apostolate—bequeathed to the Religious Institute he founded a shining and demanding message, which, if actualized faithfully, bears much fruit. From the fi rst time I arrived in Rome, I have been continuously unit- ed with the Society of Jesus: fi rst, as a student at the Pontifi cal Gregorian University; then, as a teacher at the same Centre of Studies; and, fi nally, as its Grand Chancellor.

  • • Decree on the Pastoral Office of Bishops +P.J
    DECREE ON THE PASTORAL OFFICE OF BISHOPS +P.J. Cullinane During the Council, the Decree on the Pastoral Office of Bishops (hereafter CD after its Latin title) was drafted in synch with the Dogmatic Constitution on the Church (hereafter LG). LG is a major doctrinal statement, and a linchpin of the Council’s teachings. CD is institutional and organizational. It contains practical details that would have been out of place in a doctrinal statement, but which needed the weight of the Council behind them. LG affirms that all the baptized share in the priestly, prophetic and regal role of Christ, and that those in Holy Orders do so in a different and distinctive way. CD specifies ways the bishop is to carry out his servant role. It emphasizes his teaching role and the need for his voice to be heard in the public square. The Council produced separate Decrees regarding the ministry of priests, Religious life, and the apostolate of the laity. Importantly, and following some of the Council’s most dramatic debates, LG and CD taught that bishops, by virtue of their ordination, form one “college of bishops”, and that this world-wide body, always including the bishop of Rome, exercises “full authority over the universal church”. More specifically, CD outlined what would become the Synods of Bishops (which were intended to be a form of on-going collaboration between the bishops of the world and the bishop of Rome); Bishops’ Conferences and Federations of Bishops’ Conferences (intended to facilitate collaboration between bishops at local and regional levels); and Councils of priests and Pastoral councils (intended to facilitate collaboration between laity, priests and bishops within dioceses.) Some of the reforms called for in this Decree are still works in progress.

Onuferko The experts who prepared the Codex Canonum Ecclesiarum Orientalium (CCE0)2 understood that their main task was to translate the theological and ecclesiological vision of the Second Vatican Council into ecclesiastical law. One can question whether they have been successful in this endeavor. But it is important to remember that while it is possible to arrive at certain ecclesiological structures based on the New Code, it would be wrong to consider the CCEO as a source for ecclesiology. After all, canon law should be based on ecclesiology, and not vice versa. Another limitation to consider is that while the CCEO offers many opportunities for ecclesiological reflection simply because of its subject matter, that is, the Eastern Churches in communion with the See of Rome, the Code must be also considered in reference to other canonical legislation currently in force in the Catholic Church.

The Church which is in Africa celebrated with joy and hope its faith in the Risen Christ during the four weeks of the Special Assembly for Africa of the Synod of Bishops. Memories of this event are still fresh in the minds of the whole Ecclesial Community.Faithful to the tradition of the first centuries of Christianity in Africa, the Pastors of this Continent, in communion with the Successor of the Apostle Peter and members of the Episcopal College from other parts of the world, held a Synod which was intended to be an occasion of hope and resurrection, at the very moment when human events seemed to be tempting Africa to discouragement and despair.The Synod Fathers, assisted by qualified representatives of the clergy, religious and laity, subjected to a detailed and realistic study the lights and shadows, the challenges and future prospects of evangelization in Africa on the threshold of the Third Millennium of the Christian faith.The members of the Synodal Assembly asked me to bring to the attention of the whole Church the results of their reflections and prayers, discussions and exchanges.(1) With joy and gratitude to the Lord I accepted this request and today, at the very moment when, in communion with the Pastors and faithful of the Catholic Church in Africa, I begin the celebration phase of the Special Assembly for Africa, I am promulgating the text of this Post-Synodal Apostolic Exhortation, the result of an intense and prolonged collegial endeavour.But before describing what developed in the course of the Synod, I consider it helpful to go back, if only briefly, over the various stages of an event of such decisive importance for the Church in Africa.The Council2.

  • 1 Longer Canon Law Introduction Page For
    LONGER CANON LAW INTRODUCTION PAGE FOR DOWNLOADING (material taken from the CLSA commissioned The Code of Canon Law, A Text and Commentary, edited by James Coriden, Thomas Green and Donald Heintschel (Paulist Press, New York: 1985), pp. 1-22). I. The Historical Development of Law in the Church. There are basically 5 historical periods in the history of the development of law in the Church. These are as follows: 1. The Early Christian Community (1-8 centuries). The early Christian Church, at least in Jewish sectors, incorporated the laws of the Old Testament into its life and practices. In the Old Testament, there were laws, which focused on the worship of the Jewish people, laws concerned with dietary regulations, and moral laws given by God for his people. In the earliest writings of the New Testament, laws appear. St. Paul, the first writer of the New Testament, presents lists of moral and disciplinary directives to be observed by all believers. He speaks at some length on marriage, the giving of directives for the moral life, and on amending the Jewish ritual practices of the early Christians, so that Christianity would not simply remain a Jewish sect. The early Church councils made determinations that were fairly specific and localized. They sought to offer specific solutions to specific problems now being faced by the growing Church. Many early canonical decisions and legislation was made from local, regional and provincial councils, such as the Synod of Elvira (in about the year 300). After the Edict of Constantine (313), the Church began another stage of development, since it was now free to grow and expand beyond the borders of the Roman Empire, without fear of persecution.
