Canon Law II

Canon Law II builds upon the foundations laid out in the initial canon law course. It orients the students into the various ways and means whereby the whole People of God – the laity, clerics, and consecrated persons – exercises Christ’s triple office of governing, teaching, and sanctifying in today’s actual ecclesial life. The books of the Code of 1983 to be studied are Book III on the Teaching Office of the Church, Book IV on the Sanctifying Office of the Church (Sacraments except Marriage; other Acts of Worship, Sacred Time, and Places), and Book VI on Sanctions in the Church.
