Codex Iuris Canonici
Digital Verbum Edition
Overview
This Latin edition of the Code of Canon Law covers all aspects of the visible Church of the Roman Rite. It regulates the administration of the Sacraments, the mutual relations of the faithful, protects the rights of individuals and associations, and sustains the common initiatives of the world-wide Catholic Church. Throughout, it permeates the ecclesiology of communion based on justice and charity that is so characteristic of the Second Vatican Council’s teaching of the Church as the Mystical Body of Christ.
