Description
After the Second Vatican Council, the Church marked the passage from an ecclesiology modelled on Canon Law to a Canon Law conforming to ecclesiology. Accordingly, Pope Francis has on various occasions amended the Code of Canon Law to make it more perfect to better serve the Church’s mission and the daily lives of the faithful.
This book traces the intent and result of some modifications shedding light on different themes such as Women as lector and acolyte, Penal Sanctions, the Matrimonial Process (MIDI), Canonization, Synodality, etc. The scholarly contents, written with the research flavour and presented in a highly scientific manner, will help canonists as well as students of Canon Law and Christ’s faithful in general to update themselves in the Church’s current juridical norms.
