  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.

    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.

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.

  1. Pope Pius XII reforms of Eastern Canon Law

    Main Pope Pius XII Portal Catholicism Pius XII reforms of Eastern Canon Law describes several reforms of the Codex Iuris Canonici CIC Orientalis, applying mainly to the Oriental Churches united with the Roman Catholic Church. Holy See Vatican policy in this area had always two objectives, the pastoral care of approximately ten million Christians united with Rome and the creation of positive ecumenical signals to the two hundred and fifty million Orthodox Christians outside the Church of Rome. Reforms of Canon Law With his concern for the united Oriental Churches with their combined ten million members, Pope Pius continued the initiatives of his predecessors, especially Pope Leo XIII and Pope Pius XI . These Churches, not unlike the Latin rite Churches before 1917, had their own ancient laws, which were not codified. The reform of Oriental Church laws, the CIC Orientalis for the Oriental Churches, was completed during the pontificate of Pius XII.
