Legal Order and Canon law: The Structuring Contribution of Santi Romano

ABSTRACT: The contribution of the State’s System Theory of Santi Romano is decisive for illustrating and protecting the singularities of Canon Law without jeopardizing its intrinsic juridical nature, rather, by confirming it precisely because of the “institutional” nature of the Church. The substantial contributions that "L’ordinamento giuridico" offers to the systematic and dogmatic understanding of Canon Law are four: law as legitimacy, the conformity between institution and legal system, the neutrality of the law, the non-necessity of the Legislator in order to have true law.

The Church’s path for an updated social doctrine: from the right to property to the sacred rights to land, housing and work

ABSTRACT: The essay analyzes the historical and juridical development of the Catholic Church’s social doctrine, from the teaching of Pope Leo XIII to the teaching of Pope Francis. Paying attention to the fundamental issues of the social justice is at the core of the existence and the mission of the Church. Nowdays, Pope Francis changed the emphasis of the official social doctrine, calling for a poor Church at the service of the poor and the Earth. This updated social doctrine is founded on the joyful announcement of the Gospel.

Abstract: Jerusalem is the most important city in the world, the Centre of the three greatest religions. It is the Capital of the State of Israel for some, the capital of the State of Palestine for others and for others still a corpus separatum under international control. Everyone wants Jerusalem, and so they contest it, creating political and legislative unrest. These disturbances give rise to violence from both groups of people that live there. In this brief dissertation, we retrace the key historical points and problems associated with the legal status of this city, from the first decades of the twentieth century, to understand that the problem lies in the claim of ownership of this City.

The Foundation, Logic and Content of the Eucharistic Observance of the Precept Regarding Sundays and Holy Days of Obligation

Abstract: This article examines the foundation and ratio of the eucharistic observance of the precept regarding Sundays and holy days of obligation, beginning with an overview of the question within both canonical tradition and current normative logic The historical-conceptual excursus highlights the maine phases of the formation of ecclesiastical discipline, while the analysis of current regulations demonstrates the continuity of normative provisions and eventual refinements. The dimension of justice manifests, above all, the social and institutional value of the precept, while the essential and particular characteristics of Christian holidays are also related to the communal and sacramental nature of the celebration. The logic behind the precept corresponds, then, to the solidarity, historicity, rationality and humanity of its observance. The regard for the “centrality of the Mass” leads to a respect for the substantiality and integrity of the good that is due. The incentive for and rediscovery of the Sunday practice depend primarily on catechetical and formative activity, but cannot be separated from juridical and directive contributions or the responsibility of members of the faithful and pastors.

1 - Avendo il compito di presentare gli Scritti, debbo provare ad andare oltre l’affetto, oltre la commozione. Anche perché proprio la professoressa Folliero non mi avrebbe certo perdonato smarginamenti.

E allora, desidero anzitutto ringraziarvi, ringraziare questa Università, i Colleghi di questa Università e ringraziare in particolar modo l’ADEC nella persona del Presidente e dei componenti del Direttivo per avere pensato a questo Atto accademico in memoria della professoressa Folliero e avervi incluso, affidandomela, la presentazione degli Scritti a Lei dedicati. Ringrazio Gianni Cimbalo, per la ricostruzione puntuale e avvertita del profilo scientifico della studiosa, il toccante ricordo della persona e per le emozioni che ha rinnovato, credo non soltanto a me.

Labor, remuneration and rights in the writings of Charles Péguy: suggestions and reflections for the canonist

ABSTRACT: Both in "Marcel: premier dialogue de la cité harmonieuse" and in "L'argent", Charles Péguy creates an aesthetic of work that emphasizes the fundamental relationship between the creative activity of man, spirituality and fraternity. Manual labor is at the same time an instrument of creation of the social bond and the fulcrum of the connection between the temporal element and the spiritual one. At the same time, Péguy appears very critical of the commodification of labor in capitalist society, where money is not a mere tool for exchange but an economic goal in itself. The dignity of work and respect for the principle of fraternity are today in question following the recent reforms of the Italian labor legislation; reforms that seem far removed from the perspective outlined in the writings of Charles Péguy.

Remarks about Law & Religion for the Martin Luther King Day

ABSTRACT: April 4, 2018 commemorates the fiftieth anniversary of the death of Martin Luther King jr., in Memphis-Tennessee. The importance of Martin Luther King’s personality goes far beyond the borders of United States and spreads on the global scale. The present paper concerns the universality and the present impact of Martin Luther King’s legacy, considering also the European context. The paper analyses in brief the history of Martin Luther King, taking into account both his activism in the US and his international criticism against global issues such as post-colonialism and third-worldism; a second part is dedicated to the so called religious “global left” of the 50s and 70s. Conclusions show how and why the global religions have still to be considered a critical background for the rule of law, its inequalities and its injustices.

Notes on religion and political Gestalt in the young Hegel

ABSTRACT: The young Hegel identifies in the Jewish theocracy a model based on the split between divine and human, finite and infinite which confines man in an irrecoverable subordination and separation from nature and the rest of mankind. Hegel contrasts it with the idea of the Greek polis and its religion as a strengthening of ethical and political unity. Christ hasn’t succeeded in bridging the rift which marks not only the Jewish culture but also reproduces itself in modern intellectualism, which proceeds by separations and oppositions and culminates in the abstractness of modern law. Christ founded a community of love, renouncing the confrontation with reality, supinely accepted; nevertheless, the Christian idea of incarnation, together with the Greek suggestion of the unity of the being as a whole, seems to be decisive for the Hegelian attempt to think of the philosophical unity of opposites, indicating a way that is also religious (as visible union of the community in the cult) and political (as sacrificing of that which is particular and egoistic). In the transition from the Frankfurt to Jena, Christianity is recovered by Hegel as a premise for a new religion that ought to overcome the oppositions of modern intellectualism and rediscover the unity of the popular ethos.

On a harmonious relationship between man and nature: an ethical-juridical reflection

ABSTRACT: The break in the harmonious relationship between man and nature has been evident for some decades now. This break is the consequence of the use of science and technology in the interest of only some, an approach that led to an exploitation of nature not respectful of its intrinsic value. Hence the technocracy. In fact, today we are witnessing the domination of the technocratic power, which has as its purpose the utility for those who manage it, in the absence of consideration of the damage that derives from the realization of profit. This latter position marries the anthropocentric conception in the relationship between man and nature and blows both the religious vision of this relationship, which entrusts man with power over nature, but also the duty to guard it, and the natural-evolutionary vision. Hence the need for a limitation of the autonomy of scientific action to effectively protect the ecosystem.
