Books New Code of Canon Law  by The Canon Law Society of Great Britain a (Author)

The "New Code of Canon Law" by The Canon Law Society of Great Britain and Ireland is a modern edition and English translation of the official legal code governing the Roman Catholic Church. The Code of Canon Law organizes and regulates the Church's governance, administration, sacraments, clergy, laity, and church institutions.

This code provides clear legal norms that guide the Church in areas such as the role and authority of bishops, the functioning of diocesan synods and curias, administration of sacraments, clergy discipline, and the rights and obligations of the faithful. It addresses governance structures at multiple levels—from diocesan to universal Church—and specifies judicial procedures within Church law.

The Canon Law Society promotes study, understanding, and application of canon law, providing scholarly resources, translations, and commentary. The New Code is essential for clergy, canon lawyers, and scholars engaged in Church administration or ecclesiastical legal matters. It is comprehensive, systematically arranged, and aligned with Vatican directives, making it the foundational legal text for the Roman Catholic ecclesiastical jurisdiction worldwide.
