The Family in the Code of Canon Law
Main Article Content
Abstract
Church law has not fully incorporated the doctrine on the family—the “domestic church”—as set forth in magisterial documents; perhaps that doctrine had not been sufficiently assimilated into ecclesial practice. The article presents and compares the norms regarding the family and its ecclesial activity established by the two Codes of Canon Law, the Latin and the Eastern; no clear progress is observed between the two Codes, despite the years that separate their respective promulgation.
