There are 151 canons in the collection, some of which reaffirm medieval prescriptions, while others depend on Matthew Parker s Book of Advertisements and the Thirty nine Articles . They were drawn up in Latin by Richard Bancroft , Bishop of London, and only the Latin text is authoritative. They were published in separate Latin and English editions in 1604. A few, e.g. canon 37, were amended in the 19th century. A Canon Law Commission was appointed in 1939 to reconsider the matter of canon law in the Church of England it held eight sessions between 1943 and 1947 and then issued a report which included a full set of new canons which were subsequently considered by Convocation. ref Cross, F.

  1. Ius (Canon Law)

    Unreferenced date December 2009 Ius or jus is Latin for one sense of the English word, law. In the Canon law Catholic Church Canon Law of the Catholic Church , ius refers to custom, practice or Tradition. The early law of the Church, especially prior to the First Council of Nicaea in 325 a.d., was largely unwritten, at least in the form of law, but existed in the practices, customs and teachings of the early Christian community. What largely was communicated generation to generation was an oral tradition passed from the apostles to the Bishops, and from Bishops and priests to the faithful through their preaching and way of life. Some of what is included in the term ius would be interpretations of particular scriptural passages, theological understandings of the liturgy and liturgical practices themselves. Evidence for the content of this oral tradition of teaching is found among the writings of the Early Church Fathers as well as in the later legislation of the Church or lex Canon law lex . Ius is typically understood in contradistinction to lex . The Early Church, which existed more or less under persecution in the Roman Empire prior to Constantine I in the early fourth century, was not in a position to gather large councils for the purpose of legislation or theological clarification prior to 325 a. d. Laws formalized as lex after 325 a.d. are sometimes falsely interpreted as having a new content. This is usually not the case. Most Church legislation is either a development of prior teaching, or practice or re affirmation of teaching or practice unless otherwise expressly stated.

  1. Interpretation (canon law)

    In relation to the canon law of the Roman Catholic Church , canonists give rules for the exact interpretation and acceptation of words, in order that decrees may be correctly understood and the extent of their obligation determined. Who can give an interpretation? In general, the authentic interpretation of a law may be made by the legislator, or his successor or superior, but when this is not the case recourse must be had to what is called magisterial, or doctrinal, interpretation. It is for this latter mode that rules have been formed. Interpreting the words The words of a law must be understood ... judicial sentence.

    A college , in the canon law of the Roman Catholic Church , is a collection Latin collegium of persons united together for a common object so as to form one body. The members are consequently said to be incorporated, or to form a corporation. History Colleges existed among the Romans and Greeks from the earliest times. The Roman laws required at least three persons for constituting a college. Legal incorporation was made, at least in some cases, by decrees of the Senate, edicts of the emperor, or by special laws. There were, however, general laws under which colleges could be formed by private persons, and if the authorities judged that the members had conformed to the letter and spirit of these laws, they had incontestable rights as collegia legitima if the requisites were not adhered to they could be suppressed by administrative act. The Colleges could hold property in common and could sue and be sued. In case of failure this common property could be seized, but that of the individual members was not liable to seizure.

  1. Donation (in canon law)

    Orphan date February 2009 A Donation , when referred to in canon law in the Roman Catholic Church , is defined as the gratuitous transfer to another of some right or thing. When it consists in placing in the hands of the donee some movable object it is known as a gift of hand donum manuale, an offering or oblatio, an alms . Properly speaking, however, it is a voluntary contract, verbal or written, by which the donor expressly agrees to give, without consideration, something to the donee, and the latter in an equally express manner accepts the gift. In Roman law and in some modern codes this contract carries with it only the obligation of transferring the ownership of the thing in question actual ownership is obtained only by the real traditio or handing over of the thing itself, or by the observation of certain juridically prescribed formalities L. 20, C. De pactis, II, 3 . Such codes distinguish between conventional or imperfect and perfect donation, i.e. the actual transfer of the thing or right.
