The Status of Oriental Catholics in Germany. A current challenge for the coordination of the two Codes

ABSTRACT: According to an estimate by the Secretariat of the German Bishops' Conference, about 200,000 members of fourteen different Eastern Catholic Churches currently live in Germany. A first large migratory wave with a lasting impact up to today emerged with members of the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church in the first decades of the 20th century. Lately, due to migration from Syria and Iraq starting in 2015, a larger number of Eastern Catholics - estimated by some in the five-digit range - have arrived in Germany. The change brought about by migration poses new challenges for pastoral care and canon law in Germany. The Ukrainians have their own jurisdiction in the form of an Apostolic Exarchy. All other Oriental Catholics have been entrusted to local Latin ordinaries by a decree of the Congregation for the Oriental Churches according to can. 916, § 5, CCEO. Therefore, the solution of many legal questions requires a synopsis of both codes. Do Latin parish priests have the authority to celebrate marriages for Oriental couples per se? To which church do children from a mixed marriage belong? The motu proprio De concordia inter Codices did not answer all questions and has also brought new ones.

The Protestant Reformation between requests for renewal and heretical movements

ABSTRACT: The Protestant Reformation represents an epochal event as it is widely considered the true moment of transition from the Middle Ages to the modern age. Without wishing in the least to diminish the innovative significance of the aforementioned phenomenon, it is however necessary to point out how the Catholic Church, during the course of its history, has been crossed by a yearning for regeneration that has involved both the constitutional and the devotional aspects of its being. To this end, it is enough to recall the reforming work of Gregory VII, the Cluniac monastic rigor, the contribution of some regular Orders (mendicants), as well as the spread of new forms of religiosity, from the modern Devotio to the Christian humanism of Desiderio Erasmus of Rotterdam. Similarly, the originality of the Reformation did not prevent modern Protestant historiography from considering it the natural result of an evangelical pluralism already present in the twelfth century. The direct reference is to the doctrines of Pietro Valdo, John Wycliff and Jan Hus, and in particular to their ecclesiology which in various ways will be proposed by Martin Luther, with his own peculiarity, and without ever reducing himself to it.

Canonical criminal procedural law related to the principle of self-defense: a comparative analysis
 
ABSTRACT: The article compiles an analysis of canonical criminal procedural law tracing it in the first place to the lack, in the canonical system, of a constitutional law, which Paul VI had deemed necessary to be adopted when, in the aftermath of Vatican Council II, he decided to promote that Lex Ecclesiae Fundamentalis, later abandoned under the pontificate of John Paul II. The work makes use of a comparative analysis with Italian criminal procedural law and compares the procedural institutes of one and the other legal system to help understand the breadth and consistency of the gaps and shortcomings of canonical procedural law.e di un decreto penale.

Augustine’s De civitate Dei and its influence on the process of secularization of the State

ABSTRACT: Is justice essential to State? Augustine, in the fourth book of the City of God, starts with a strict idea of State, but then widens the definition: he grants that also an unjust - not based on the real God - State may be a real State. This option seems to be prominent in the process of secularization enacted in the last centuries, but it’s also connected to other matter: the predestination, the identification (or not) between the City of God and the Church, and so on. Methodologically, I tried to read what Augustine really wrote and not what others said about his works.

Patriarchal ecumenical homophony

ABSTRACT: The establishment in 2019 of a new Ukrainian autocephaly raises the question of the legal basis of exclusive Constantinopolitan canonical prerogatives. As is known, after the Edict of Thessalonica of 380, can. cost. 3 of 381 attributes the Roman prerogatives to the bishop of Constantinople-Νεα Ρωμη.The ethnarchical religious role, assumed by the Roman bishop, guardian of the Romanitas, (conceived as the apostolic heritage of the Roman church), determines the Eastern emperors to confer the patriarchal title (previously reserved for the Jewish etnarch of Palestine), to Roman pope and ecumenical patriarch, to the bishop of Constantinople, which became the only seat of the imperium.The Justinian articulation of the ecclesiastical order comes to highlight in the homophony of patriarchs the attestation of the unity, doctrinal and disciplinary, in the Church of the ecumenical empire. Therefore, today's panorthodox reception of Ukrainian autocephaly cannot be considered an ecclesial burden due to the universal canonical authority of the patriarchate of Constantinople. Consequently, the primates cannot accept it in the name of the respective autocephalous Church, in contrast with canon 34. In respect of the nomocanonical tradition, today's Ukrainian controversy must therefore be submitted to the assembly of patriarchs in order to reach a canonical unanimous (homophone) solution to the controversy.

Some reflections on the Vatican system. Remembering the Master.

ABSTRACT: In recalling the life and work of prof. Giuseppe Dalla Torre, the author highlights some key areas in which the interests and personal commitment of the late Maestro are most focused. The essay intends to highlight that prof. Dalla Torre, also on the basis of his immense scientific production, was not only a brilliant and highly original scholar of canon law and ecclesiastical law, but he was also a refined constitutionalist, a careful scholar of public law and constitutional law. in relation to the various state systems, as well as in relation to the very unique system of the Vatican City State. The paper makes a specific reflection on some aspects of the current Vatican legal system, to which Dalla Torre has dedicated significant personal energies, especially in recent years. The essay indicates that the Vatican system was not only an important object of study and legal interest on the part of Giuseppe Dalla Torre. But it also represented an important field of action in which he sowed with copious abundance: both as a consultant for various departments of the Apostolic See; both from a jurisprudential point of view, in the years in which he held prestigious positions as a Vatican magistrate and, most recently, as President of the same Court of the Vatican City State; and, again, from the point of view of the care of new generation of jurists - trained through a prestigious School led by himself - with the relevant purpose of providing them with the tools suitable to operate, even at a professional level, within the "walls" Vatican system. It follows that Giuseppe Dalla Torre not only represents an illustrious ecclesiastic and canonist of our times, but also an esteemed legal practitioner, as well as an appreciated "Vatican jurist".

“Noi vi havemo consumato in questa pratica la vita et l’intelletto nostro”: an unpublished opinion by Pius V (1556)

ABSTRACT: Long before being enthroned as Pope with the name of Pius V (1566), Michele Ghislieri worked tirelessy and enthusiastically for the Roman Inquisition under Paul IV and his successors, building and cementing his position within the Roman Curia. In his capacity as commissary of the Holy Office (1556), Ghislieri was requested to express an opinion regarding the relationship of inquisitorial and episcopal jurisdictions in receiving abjurations. This opinion, delivered in the form of a quaestio of the medieval scolastic tradition and published here for the first time, casts new light not only on the intellectual biography of this famous Pope but also, given the fact that he was not the only consultor whose opinion was requested, on the daily work of the Roman tribunal and, in more general terms, on the capital importance of law within the spectrum of Western cultural system in Early Modern age.

Challenges presented by the conversion of justice in the Church in the light of m.p. Mitis Iudex Dominus Iesus

ABSTRACT: In these pages I will try to show that the motive leading to the reform of the m.p. Mitis Iudex and the recovered centrality of the Bishop judge are questions that should not be limited exclusively to the processes of marriage nullity, since they are so important that they go beyond these procedural limits; on the contrary, they should project their influence not only on the norms that regulate the ordinary processes but also on the very organization of justice in the Church. The conversion of justice that the Roman Pontiff has initiated with the m.p. Mitis Iudex, therefore, involves the rest of the causes and canonical procedural law itself.
