  • Relationship Between Church and State, Canon Law and Civil Law: Problems and Prospects
    IUSTITIA Vol. 9, No. 1 (June 2018) Page: 11-50 RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN CHURCH AND STATE, CANON LAW AND CIVIL LAW: PROBLEMS AND PROSPECTS Paul Pallatir First of all the author examines the Lateran Pacts between the Holy See and the Italian State which constitutes the foundation for the relationship between the Catholic Church and the State even in modern times. Then an overview of the teaching of Vatican II on the autonomy and independence of the Church and civil society in their respective fields is presented, indicating the possibility and manner of observing canon law in democratic, theocratic, confessional, secular, atheistic or totalitarian states. After attempting a compendium of the canons on the theme, the final sections are dedicated to highlight the principles and directives provided by the Codes of canon law regarding the relationship between canon law and civil law, followed by the exemplification of three particular themes: marriage, temporal goods of the Church and penal law. 1. Introduction The Christian faithful, including cardinals, bishops, priests, religious and lay people, are at the same time members of the Church and citizens of a nation. Hence their life and activities are regulated by two orders, canonical and civil, deriving rights and obligations from both. Hence the peaceful life of Christian citizens in any country depends on the harmonious and equilibrated application of canon law and civil Prof. Paul Pallath holds doctorate in Eastern canon law from the Pontifical Oriental Institute in Rome and in Latin canon law from the Pontifical Lateran University. From 1995 to 2011 he rendered service as an official of the Congregation for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments and then for two years as an official of the Tribunal of the Roman Rota.

TEÓFILO BRAGA, As Theocracias Litterarias, Lisboa, Typographia Universal, 1865, p. 5 2 A FATALIDADE DO DIÁLOGO ESTADO-RELIGIÃO Resumo Neste trabalho, propomo-nos elencar os vários «instrumentos políticos» de que se têm socorrido, de uma forma geral, o Poder instituído, e, de uma forma particular, o Estado Português, para a regulação das relações de carácter religioso dos cidadãos, entre si – nas suas várias expressões confessionais – e entre estes e o Estado – na diversidade dos canais institucionais de comunicação e de interacção. O enfoque é o da realidade nacional portuguesa, desde a Modernidade (de uma forma pontualizada) e o período que decorre da promulgação da Constituição Portuguesa de 1976 até à assinatura do Tratado de Lisboa, em 13 de Dezembro de 2007, que criou a União Europeia, e que entrou em vigor em 1 de Dezembro de 2009.

  • Benedict XVI's “Hermeneutic of Reform” and Religious Freedom
    Nova et Vetera, English Edition, Vol. 9, No. 4 (2011): 1029 –54 1029 Benedict XVI’s “Hermeneutic of Reform” and Religious Freedom MARTIN RHONHEIMER Pontifical University of the Holy Cross Rome, Italy I. Continuity or Rupture: How Did Vatican II Understand the Church’s Relation with the Modern World? 1 INAnotable Christmas message given before the Roman Curia on December 22, 2005, Pope Benedict XVI cautioned against a widespread interpretation of the Second Vatican Council which would posit that the Church after the Council is different than the “preconciliar” Church. Benedict called this erroneous interpretation of the Council a “hermeneutic of discontinuity and rupture.” 1 The present article first appeared in German in Die Tagespost 115 (26 September 2009): 14, and online at KATH.NET, 28 September 2009 (www.kath.net/ detail.php?id=24068). A Spanish translation of the article appeared in the Appen - dix I of M. Rhonheimer, Cristianismo y laicidad: Historia y actualidad de una relación compleja, Ediciones (Madrid: Rialp, 2009), 167–79. The version presented here includes the text of that article in its entirety, expanded and provided with an appendix, which deals with specific questions concerning the continuity and infallibility of the ordinary universal magisterium, questions inherent to the prob - lem discussed here. This expanded version was first published in French as “L’«herméneutique de la réforme» et la liberté de religion,” in the French edition of Nova et Vetera 85 (2010): 341–63 (online: www.novaetvetera.ch/Art%20Rhon - heimer.htm) and in a slightly abridged version in Die Neue Ordnung 65, no. 4 (August 2011): 244–61.

  • Dignitatis Humanae and the Development of Moral Doctrine: Assessing Change in Catholic Social Teaching on Religious Liberty
    THE CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY OF AMERICA Dignitatis humanae and the Development of Moral Doctrine: Assessing Change in Catholic Social Teaching on Religious Liberty A DISSERTATION Submitted to the Faculty of the School of Theology and Religious Studies Of The Catholic University of America In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree Doctor of Philosophy By Barrett Hamilton Turner Washington, D.C 2015 Dignitatis humanae and the Development of Moral Doctrine: Assessing Change in Catholic Social Teaching on Religious Liberty Barrett Hamilton Turner, Ph.D. Director: Joseph E. Capizzi, Ph.D. Vatican II’s Declaration on Religious Liberty, Dignitatis humanae (DH), poses the problem of development in Catholic moral and social doctrine. This problem is threefold, consisting in properly understanding the meaning of pre-conciliar magisterial teaching on religious liberty, the meaning of DH itself, and the Declaration’s implications for how social doctrine develops. A survey of recent scholarship reveals that scholars attend to the first two elements in contradictory ways, and that their accounts of doctrinal development are vague. The dissertation then proceeds to the threefold problematic. Chapter two outlines the general parameters of doctrinal development. The third chapter gives an interpretation of the pre- conciliar teaching from Pius IX to John XXIII. To better determine the meaning of DH, the fourth chapter examines the Declaration’s drafts and the official explanatory speeches (relationes) contained in Vatican II’s Acta synodalia. The fifth chapter discusses how experience may contribute to doctrinal development and proposes an explanation for how the doctrine on religious liberty changed, drawing upon the work of Jacques Maritain and Basile Valuet.

  • Concordats As Instruments for Implementing Freedom of Religion
    Universal Rights in a World of Diversity. The Case of Religious Freedom Pontifical Academy of Social Sciences, Acta 17, 2012 www.pass.va/content/dam/scienzesociali/pdf/acta17/acta17-fumagalli.pdf Concordats as Instruments for Implementing Freedom of Religion Ombretta Fumagalli Carulli 1. ‘Historia concordatorum, historia dolorum’? Is this curial adage – with which in the past Concordats were criticized as mutual concessions of privileges between Church and State – still relevant today? Drawing on a question of a prominent member of the Italian Con- stituent Assembly, Giuseppe Dossetti (who was also a canon lawyer): are Concordats a ‘bad deal for the Church’? In order to answer, I would preliminarily clarify that Concordats are in- ternational treaties between two entities, the State and the Catholic Church, both sovereign in their own domain respectively, the temporal and the spir- itual one. They are just tools, in themselves they are neither good nor bad. They become good or bad depending on their contents. It would be interesting to retrace the historical development of Con- cordats in order to detect whether and how they have guaranteed freedom of religion in its three aspects, institutional, collective and individual. We could start with an initial arrangement (basically a concordat) still under emperor Commodus in Roman times, which allows a temporary cessation of persecution against Christians, to find that it guarantees religious freedom as a minimum existential level: the freedom to live as Christians. Or, for a formal agreement to ensure the libertas Ecclesiae, we refer to the Concordat of Worms (1122), which in the Middle Ages ended the Investiture Contro- versy, freeing the Church from the power of the Princes.

The Way, Vol. 43, No. 4 (October 2004): 95-109. Permalink. © 2004 The aW y Publications. Used with permission. FIDELITY IN CONTEXT John Courtney Murray (1904-1967) Thomas Hughson JOHN COURTNEY MURRAY, BERNARD LONERGAN AND KARL RAHNER— the three theologians whose centenaries this special number of The Way is celebrating—are important figures because they helped the Roman Catholic church develop, even if rather belatedly, a carefully positive relationship to modernity. All three showed that something in the Church loved something, even if not everything, in ‘the modern world’.1 Internationally, Murray may be the least familiar of the centenarians.2 He was an expert on Church-state relations and on religious liberty, and is best known for his work in producing Dignitatis humanae, the 1965 Declaration on Religious Freedom at Vatican II, a document which marked a turning-point in the self-understanding of Roman Catholics within pluralist and secular societies.3 Murray’s work is a model of reflective inculturation. He recognised that the democratic heritage of the United States had something to offer Catholic tradition; the flow of teaching between Rome and the local church needed to be two-way rather than one-way. 1 Of course it was not just Jesuits who were involved in this project, and perhaps we should mention with special honour another great figure born in 1904, the Dominican, Yves Congar.

All Rights Reserved, 2017. 1 If the Emperor forgets the fear of God, he will inevitably fall into sin and be changed into a despot, he will not be able to keep to the customs established by the Fathers, and by the intrigues of the devil he will do that which is unworthy and contrary to the commandments of God, he will become hateful to the people, the senate and the Church, he will become unworthy to be called a Christian, he will be deprived of his post, will be subject to anathema, and, finally, will be killed as the ‘common enemy’ of all Romans, both ‘those who command’ and ‘those who obey’. Emperor Constantine VII, On the Government of the Empire. It is wonderful how, from the time when Pope Nicholas I tried to bring about the divorce between the two Churches, the downward course of Rome proceeded with such rapidity that one could not but recognize God’s finger on the wall, “Mene, mene, tekel, upharsin!” Joseph Overbeck. The judgement of God is higher than that of Rome… Pope Sylvester II (997). The Pope is truly the vicar of Jesus Christ, anointed of the Lord, set between God and man, lower than God but higher than man, who judges all and is judged by no-one. Pope Innocent III. The people should be led, not followed, as God has ordained… Those who say, ‘The voice of the people is the voice of God,’ are not to be listened to, for the unruliness of the mob is always close to madness.

  • Scandal Time by Richard John Neuhaus
    1 Scandal Time by Richard John Neuhaus Copyright (c) 2002 First Things (April 2002). The Public Square The timing, it seems, could not have been worse. In last month’s issue I offered my considered and heartfelt defense of Father Maciel, founder of the Legionaries of Christ, against unfounded charges of sexual abuse. I meant and I mean every word of what I said there. Just after the issue had gone to press, however, scandals involving sexual abuse by priests in Boston exploded, creating a level of public outrage and suspicion that may be unparalleled in recent history. The climate is not conducive to calm or careful thought about priests and sexual molestation. Outrage and suspicion readily lead to excess, but, with respect to developments in Boston, it is not easy to say how much outrage and suspicion is too much. Professor Philip Jenkins of Penn State University has written extensively on sexual abuse by priests, also in these pages (see “The Uses of Clerical Scandal,” February 1996). He is an acute student of the ways in which the media, lawyers, and insurance companies-along with angry Catholics, both liberal and conservative-are practiced at exploiting scandal in the service of their several interests. Scholars point out that the incidence of abusing children or minors is no greater, and may be less, among priests than among Protestant clergy, teachers, social workers, and similar professions. But, it is noted, Catholic clergy are more attractive targets for lawsuits because the entire diocese or archdiocese can be sued. That is a legal liability of the Church’s hierarchical structure.
