The following information is about Canon Law.

Canon Law Defined

The law of the Christian Church. Has little or no legal effect today. Canon law refers to that body of law which has been set by the Christian Church and which, in virtually all places, is not binding upon citizens and has virtually no recognition in the judicial system. Some citizens resort to canon law, however, for procedures such as marriage annulments to allow for a Christian church marriage where one of the parties has been previously divorced. Many church goers and church officers abide by rulings and doctrines of canon law. Also known as "ecclesiastical law."

This definition is in context to Canadian Law. See more contextual defintions for Canon Law.

  • A response to Abp. Wuerl's claims that canon law supports his inaction in regard to Nancy Pelosi: Abp. Donald Wuerl of Washington DC continues to defend his refusal to withhold holy Communion from Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi in a number of ways, but his recent claims that canon law supports his inaction attract my attention. I think the prelate's canonical claims are wrong.
  • Archbishop Wuerl repeats he won't deny the Eucharist to Pelosi: Archbishop Wuerl was interviewed just before an appearance in Washington by Archbishop Raymond Burke, the head of the Apostolic Signatura, who has argued forcefully in favor of canonical disciplinary action. Canon Lawyer Edward Peters, in a critique of Archbishop Wuerl's argument, said that it is "disingen uous" to suggest that canon law is "written with the intention of bringing politicians to heel." Rather, he observed: "Canons are designed to advance the salvific mission of the Church (c. 1752)."
