The Code of Canon Law (Corpus Iuris Canonici, CIC), in its version enacted by Pope John Paul II, employs diverse terminology when refer- ring to acts of administration of goods. Can. 1277 of CIC refers to “acts of administration which are more important” and “acts of extraordinary administration”, while the provision of 1281 §1 and §2 of CIC points out the dierence between “acts of ordinary administration” and “acts which exceed the limit and manner of ordinary administration”. Although the terminology adopted in the Code of Canon Law clearly marks the dierence, it does not dene these terms and does not provide any list of these acts. Scholars do not provide much opinion in this matter either, leaving the issue for consideration by particular legislation and legal practice. However, the exact denition of dierences between the above-mentioned acts of admi- nistration is of great practical importance for the validity of acts related to the administration of ecclesiastical property. e article presented herein, based on an analysis of Can. 1277 and Can. 1281 §1, and §2 of CIC, indicates the existing dierences in terminology, and underlines the urgent need to develop a list of extraordinary acts of administration of ecclesiastical goods to ensure the stability of this kind of legal action, and draws attention to the criteria by which acts of extraordinary administration should be formulated.

The organisation now known as the Canon Law Society of Great Britain and Ireland was founded in 1957, and its Newsletter was first published in 1969. The activities, publications and achievements of the Society within the Roman Catholic Church are manifold, and were acknowledged by Pope John Paul II when he granted an audience to participants of the 1992 annual conference held in Rome. This papal address is printed at the beginning of The Canon Law: Letter & Spirit (London 1995), the full commentary on the 1983 Code of Canon Law prepared by the Society.

The article deals with the issue of achieving moral certitude in the conscience of the judge based on documents and evidence put forward in petitions for declaration of nullity of a marriage. A brief comparison is drawn between Cann. 1608 of the 1983 Code of Canon Law and Article 247 of the Instruction Dignitas Connubi, and, based on this comparison, the development and understanding of the concept of moral certitude is demonstrated. A clear distinction is made between the concept of moral certitude and the concept of absolute certitude as well as the concept of quasi–certainty or probability. The definition of moral certitude and its content is explained in accordance with the teachings of Pius XII and John Paul II, that is to say, in keeping with their respective addresses to the Roman Rota. Also, the article discusses the subjective and objective content of moral certitude, the responsibility of the judge and the freedom recognized by law for the judge to assess the evidence.

Code of Canon Law promulgated by John Paul II gave the secular in church the possibility to take part in the service of managing, teaching and sanctifying. Canon 228 seems to be the most significant and fundamental code rule to apply the canonical mission. The first point informs: „Persons who are found suitable are qualified to be admitted by the sacred pastors to those ecclesiastical offices and functions which they are able to exercise according to the precepts of the law”. The following paragraph states: „Persons who excel in necessary knowledge, prudence, and integrity are qualified to assist the pastors of the Church as experts and advisors, even in councils according to the norm of law”. Code of Canon Law of 1983, which in a very synthetic way formalises the preparation for marriage, draws the attention to some significant pastoral elements and, which is important, leaves the initiative in all not specified matters to specific conferences of Bishops and ordinaries of place. Polish Episcopal Conference meeting the expectations of the teaching of the Second Ecumenical Council of the Vatican and code norms published „Family Pastoral Directory”, which became the legal foundation for the requirement of demanding the sanction of competent power for family life counsellors to serve in Church, which formally means having missio canonica. Polish dioceses respectively are developing the norms relative to the requirements set for family life counsellors during diocese synods or outside of them.

The text is about modality from a linguistic point of view. The author takes a broad understanding of a modal category (modality indentified with communicative intention) and analyses the so called basic modal units: verbs and predicates, which together with an infinitive create a verbal construction. She examines a function of the mentioned expressions in the Code of Canon Law. Willing to accept a specific character of contexts with modal expressions, she includes in the description conclusions coming from earlier study of newspaper texts, homilies and speeches of John Paul II.

The Code of Canon Law, promulgated by John Paul II in 1983, is a synthesis of the earlier 1917 Code and the doctrine of the Second Vatican Council. The Code contains norms which go well beyond a reform of the inner legal relations within the Catholic Church. A lot of them deal with the value and dignity of the human person, which shows a clear impact of the pontificate of John Paul II, who put a lot of emphasis on the given issue. The article discusses the fields of legal regulations in the Code which touch upon the issue of the human person, esp. freedom of religion, protection of unborn life, social rights, legal standing of women and the education of future generations. It points out the main difference between civil law (which also serves the dignity of the human person) and canon law, namely, the latter aims at the salvation of souls.

This article presents two inquiries directed to the Pontifical Council for Legislative Texts by canonists from Cracow. The presentation in question was preceded by synthetic indication of rules for performing interpretation of the Church’s law, specifically the role of the Pontifical Council for Legislative Texts. This special Dicastery of the Roman Curia also provides answers to numerous inquiries, thus providing assistance to various authorities and individual people of faith in interpreting norms that are, basically obvious, but that raise doubts. In such cases it is used to clarify the arose doubt and contributes to correct interpretation of the existing law in practice. It arises from the provided answers that the institution of parish priest is regarded as stable, which is clearly stated in can. 522 of the Code of Canon Law. One of the elements that are a guarantor of the parish priest institution, though not listed outright by the general legislator, is a possibility to remain in the position until one reaches seventy five years of age. This also confirms that this age, that is determined in the Code, cannot be changed by the particular legislator in any valid manner. Thus, also the possible customs in a given Diocese that were introduced after John Paul II promulgated the post-conciliar code in 1983 that are in contradiction to provisions included in that Code must be regarded as erroneous, as they are not in line with can. 26. Explanation provided by the Pontifical Council for Legislative Texts in regards to the arose doubt of a possibility to grant delegation by a personal parish priest to bless canonical marriage also occurred to be important in practice. Likewise territorial parish priest, personal parish priest has identical authorizations in this matter. As it can be observed, the Pontifical Council for Legislative Texts provides very useful and competent help in solving various legal doubts that are of great importance for functioning of the Church. If even before getting competent answers a large number of canonist had similar views to those presented in explanations, which was actually demonstrated, then the answers provided by the Vatican indicate a definitive solutions to the arose doubts and at the same time encourage those who – assuredly not out of ill will –succumbed to very subjective and erroneous interpretation, to correct it.

La Iglesia Católica ha llevado a cabo varias reformas de la Curia romana, semper reformanda, de acuerdo con las exigencias de los nuevos tiempos, de la vida eclesial y del propio espíritu conciliar.Pablo VI consiguió la acomodación a los postulados del Concilio Vaticano II mediante la Constitución apostólica Regimini Ecclesiae Universae. Los cambios efectuados por Juan Pablo II, con la Constitución apostólica Pastor Bonus, significaron la adaptación al Código de Derecho canónico de 1983. La reforma de la Curia romana acometida por el papa Francisco deja de lado muchas de tradiciones protocolarias propias de la Sede Apostólica a lo largo de los siglos y nos manifiesta un cambio de época que afecta, de forma singular, a instituciones como el Estado de la Ciudad del Vaticano, la Santa Sede y propia la Iglesia Católica, tal y como veremos en la nueva Constitución Apostólica, cuya publicación está prevista para febrero de 2015._________________________Catholic Church has carried out several reforms of the Roman Curia, semper reformanda, in accordance to the requirements of the new times, the ecclesiastical life and the conciliar spirit. Pope Paul VI accomplished the adaptation to the Second Vatican Council through the Apostolic Constitution Regimini Ecclesiae Universae. Pope John Paul II reform, the Apostolic Constitution Pastor Bonus, meant the accommodation to 1983 Code of Canon Law. The reform of the Roman Curia undertaken by Pope Francis puts aside many ceremonial traditions of the Apostolic See, showing us a change of an era affecting, particularly, to institutions as the Vatican City State, the Holy See and the Catholic Church itself, as we´ll see in the new Apostolic Constitution, to be published in February 2015.
