CANON LAW IN AMERICAN JURISDICTIONS* "The ways and traditions of mankind, persistent though they seem, are no less in a state of flux and development than any other part of organic life." -PROFESSOR FRANK W. TAUSSIG. FREDERICK G. McKEAN* It is a far cry from the twelfth century quarrel of Henry the Second and Thomas a Becket about jurisdiction over criminal clerics to the days of twentieth century America. Yet we find an echo of that famous controversy and its consequences so late as the year 1909, when the Act of Congress'con- taining the words "benefit of clergy", was repealed., Back of this contest rises the picturesque figure of Rollo, first of the Normans, a very practical individual whose conversion to Christianity was not so thorough as to dis- place his belief in the old gods of the Northland, for when he felt the approach of death (about a century before the birth of William the Conqueror), he offered human sacrifices to Thor and Odin, as well as gifts of gold to the Church.3 In his life-time, Rollo had accorded official recognition of the autonomy of the ecclesiastical courts; and, if the writer's surmise is correct, this action gave rise to at least one of the historic sources of the systems of probate and divorce law in Anglo-Saxon jurisprudence.

  • 1 Felicity Hill in High and Late Medieval England, General Sentences Of
    GENERAL EXCOMMUNICATIONS OF UNKNOWN MALEFACTORS: CONSCIENCE, COMMUNITY, AND INVESTIGATIONS IN ENGLAND, C. 1150-1350 Felicity Hill In high and late medieval England, general sentences of excommunication pronounced against unnamed wrongdoers were common. Responding to crimes where the perpetrators were unknown, general excommunications were a valuable tool that sought to discover and punish offenders in a number of ways. Solemn denunciations might convince the guilty to confess in order to avoid damnation, or persuade informants to volunteer information. General sentences were also, however, merely a precursor to investigations launched into those responsible. Public denunciations aided investigations conducted by clergy in the local community by publicising and forcibly condemning the crime committed. Once discovered, suspects were summoned to the bishop’s court and were either forced to make amends and do penance, or were excommunicated by name. This essay therefore argues that general sentences were far more complex, effective and legally significant than they are often perceived to be. In the 1160s,1 an old man was forced by necessity to sell some wood he owned. Being old and feeble, he entrusted the business of the sale to his adolescent son. The son, however, was greedy, defrauding his father by keeping most of the money from the sale for himself. Not suspecting his son, but certain that he had been wronged, the father asked his parish priest to bind with anathema ‘whoever had brought this loss upon him’. Three times the priest warned that he would pronounce the sentence, yet the son admitted nothing, publicly or privately. Finally the excommunication was pronounced, but still the son felt no remorse, disregarding the fact that Satan now possessed his body and soul.
