POPE FRANCIS AND CANON LAW

This book presents to the reader the amendments that Pope Francis made in the Code of Canon Law. The Holy Father, though committed more to the pastoral aspects of his Petrine ministry, has given due attention to the legal aspects of the ministry as well. This book brings together his vision of law contained in his Encyclicals, Apostolic Letters, Sermons and Interviews and insists that there has to be a bridge between the interpretation of the law and its pastoral application. It is a boon for those interested to learn the views and the vision of Pope Francis on law, especially Canon Law.
