SURPRISED BY CANON LAW
Authors: Pete Vere & Michael Trueman. 126 pg. PB
From time to time, all Catholics have them: nagging questions about church life, often prompted by some personal encounter or challenging situation: Surprised by Canon Law tackles these and many other questions, all of which have been formally addressed by the Roman Catholic Church's Code of Canon Law. The Code -t he internal legal system that governs the church's day-to-day workings - deals with far-flung concerns of interest to the person-in-the-pew. This practical guide to the Code provides answers to a range of questions, from "Can the pope resign?" to the more sensitive query "Do you have the right to tell your bishop what the diocese needs?"
In straightforward language the authors discuss the nuts-and-bolts of church life, making canon law accessible to the everyday Catholic.
