The expression corpus juris may also mean, not the collection of laws itself, but

230-536: A special authority. Two of them, namely the third and the fifth, are the most ancient official compilations of the Roman Church (see Papal Decretals ).

Each institute has a particular spirituality shaped by its founders and leaders. Some religious institutes have an affiliated Third Order. These are secular institutes. A society of apostolic life

414-548: The Extravagantes (laws 'circulating outside' the standard sources) of John XXII, and the Extravagantes Communes . Thus understood, the term dates back to the 16th century and was officially sanctioned by Gregory XIII . The earliest editions of these texts printed under the now usual title of Corpus juris canonici , date from the end of the 16th century (Frankfort, 8vo, 1586; Paris, fol., 1587). In

460-568: The Regulæ Juris . John XXII added to it the last official collection of Canon law, the " Liber Septimus Decretalium", better known under the title of "Constitutiones Clementis V", or simply "Clementinæ" (Quoniam nulla, 25 October 1317). Later on the canonists added to the manuscripts of the "Decretals" the most important constitutions of succeeding popes. These were soon known and quoted as "Extravagantes", i. e. twenty constitutions of John XXII himself, and those of other popes to 1484. In

598-541: The evangelical counsels by religious vows or other sacred bonds "through the charity to which these counsels lead to be joined to the Church and its mystery in a special way". They are defined in the 1983 Code of Canon Law under canons 573–730. The Congregation for Institutes of Consecrated Life and Societies of Apostolic Life has ecclesial oversight of institutes of consecrated life. The more numerous form of these are religious institutes , which are characterized by

644-583: The "Decree" of Gratian, the "Extravagantes Joannis XXII" and the "Extravagantes communes" never had a legal value, but the documents which they contain often do possess very great authority. Moreover, custom has even given to several apocryphal canons of the "Decree" of Gratian the force of law. The other collections are official, and consist of legislative decisions still binding, unless abrogated by subsequent legislation. The collections of Gregory IX (Libri quinque Decretalium) and of Boniface VIII (Liber Sextus) are moreover exclusive. The former, indeed, abrogated all

690-556: The 19th century, are those of the brothers Pithou (Paris, 1687), Freiesleben (Prague, 1728) and the Protestant canonist Böhmer (Halle-Magdeburg, 1747). The text of the latter edition differs from that of the Roman edition of 1582, and does not therefore possess practical utility. The edition of Richter (Leipzig, 1833–39) avoids this defect and is valuable for its critical notes. The edition of Friedberg (Leipzig, 1879–81) does not reproduce

736-539: The Catholic Church recognises, as forms of individual consecrated life that of hermits (canon 603) and consecrated virgins (canon 604).

Consecrated persons are lay persons or clerics who assume

For instance: "c. 1 (or unicum, or Ambitiosæ), Extrav. Commun., De rebus Ecclesiæ non alienandis, III, 4", refers to

1058-401: The clergy ( clerus ), marriage ( connubium ), and delinquencies ( crimen ). The rubrics, i. e. the summaries of the various titles, have the force of law, if they contain a complete meaning; on the other hand, the summaries of the chapters have not this juridical value. It is customary to quote these collections by indicating the number of the chapter, the title of the collection, the heading of

1104-652: The collection of Dionysius Exiguus and the Collectio Anselmo dedicata (see below). The Decretum of Gratian is already called Corpus juris canonici by a glossator of the 12th century, and Innocent IV calls by this name the Decretales or Decretals of Gregory IX . Since the second half of the 13th century, Corpus juris canonici in contradistinction to the Roman Corpus Juris Civilis of Justinian I , generally denoted

1150-483: The decisions have the same value, even if they appear to contain antinomies. In cases of contradiction, the decisions of the collections of later date invalidate those found in a collection of an earlier date.

1242-663: The exercise of sacred orders (canon 588). For instance, the Society of Jesus (Jesuits) is a clerical institute of consecrated life as their members are clerics , whereas the Sisters of Charity are a lay institute of religious sisters. A religious institute is an institute of consecrated life whose members take public vows and lead a fraternal life in common (Canon 607.2). They are broadly termed as religious and include monastic orders , mendicant orders , canons regular , and clerics regular . Some religious institutes engage in

1472-456: The fourteenth title of this collection. Very soon after the invention of printing editions of the "Corpus Juris", with or without the gloss (comments of canonists) were published. The Paris edition (1499–1505) of the two collections of "Extravagantes" includes the gloss. The last edition with the gloss is that of Lyons (1671). Though the Council of Trent (1545–63) did not order a revision of

1518-401: The heading is "States of Perfection (of pontifical right for men)." In the 1969 edition the heading has become "Religious and Secular Institutes of Pontifical Right for Men", a form it kept until 1975 inclusive. Since 1976, when work was already advanced on revising the Code of Canon Law, the list has been qualified as "historical-juridical" and still distinguishes "orders" from "congregations" in

1564-701: The institutes of consecrated life and the like that are "of pontifical right" (those that the Holy See has erected or approved by formal decree). For the men, it gives what it now calls the Historical-Juridical List of Precedence. The arrangement of the institutes for men of the Latin Church in this list dates back many decades. It is found, for instance, in the 1964 edition of the Annuario Pontificio , pp. 807–870, where

1610-503: The laws contained in the aforesaid compilations subsequent to the "Decree" of Gratian. Several authors however maintained, but wrongly, that it abrogated also all the ancient laws which had not been incorporated in Gratian. The second abrogated all the laws passed at a later date than the "Decretals" of Gregory IX and not included in itself. Each of these three collections is considered as one collection (collectio una), i. e. one of which all

1656-413: The legislation of a society considered as a whole. Hence Pope Benedict XIV could rightly say that the collection of his Bulls formed part of the corpus juris. One best explains the signification of the term corpus juris canonici by showing the successive meanings which were usually assigned to it in the past and at the present day. Under the name of "corpus canonum" ('body of canons ') were designated

1702-658: The libraries it which the manuscripts of these collections were found; the collection of the Italian Benedictine Rainerus Pomposianus, that of the English canonist Gilbert (Collectio Gilberti), that of his countryman Alanus, professor at Bologna (Collectio Alani) and that of the Spaniard Bernard of Compostella .

1748-427: The public profession of vows, life in common as brothers or sisters, and a degree of separation from the world. They are defined in the 1983 Code of Canon Law under canons 607–709.

Apart from being a member of an institute, consecrated life may also be lived individually;

If there is only one chapter in a title, or if the last chapter is quoted, these passages are indicated by "c. unic.", and "c. ult.", i. e. "caput. unicum" and "caput ultimum". Sometimes also the indication of the number of

1840-518: The strict sense of the word the Church does not possess a corpus juris clausum ('closed body of law'), i. e. a collection of laws to which new ones cannot be added. The Council of Basle (Sess. XXIII, ch. vi) and the decree of the Congregation " Super statu regularium " (25 January 1848) do not speak of a corpus clausum ; the first refers to " reservationibus in corpore juris expresse clausis ": reservations of ecclesiastical benefices contained in

1886-524: The study of practical, external theology ( theologia practica externa ), i. e. the study of canon law. In spite of its great reputation and wide diffusion, the Decretum has never been recognized by the Church as an official collection. The general laws of a later date than the "Decree" of Gratian have been called "Extravagantes", i. e. laws not contained in Gratian's Decretum ( Vagantes extra Decretum ). These were soon brought together in new collections, five of which (Quinque compilationes antiquæ) possessed
