The 1983 Code of Canon Law (abbreviated 1983 CIC from its Latin title ''Codex Iuris Canonici'') is the codification of canonical legislation for the Latin Church of the Catholic Church. It was promulgated on 25 January 1983 by John Paul II〔(Sacrae Disciplinae Leges ), accessed Jan-11-2013〕 and obtained the force of law on the First Sunday of Advent (27 November)〔NYTimes.com, "(New Canon Law Code in Effect for Catholics )", 27-Nov-1983, accessed June-25-2013〕 1983. It replaced the 1917 Code of Canon Law, promulgated by Benedict XV on 27 May 1917. ==History== The current Code of Canon Law is the second comprehensive codification of the non-liturgical laws of the Latin Church, replacing the Pio-Benedictine code that had been promulgated by Benedict XV in 1917.〔Ap. Const. ''Providentissima Mater Ecclesia''〕 See also Canon Law-Codification and Code of Canons of the Eastern Churches.〔http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/09056a.htm〕 Pope John XXIII, when proclaiming a new ecumenical council for the Catholic Church, also announced the intention of revising the 1917 CIC.〔 It was not feasible to revise the Code of Canon Law until after the conclusion of the Second Vatican Council, so that the decisions of the Council could guide the revision of ecclesiastical laws. Several of the council documents gave specific instructions regarding changes to the organization of the Catholic Church, in particular the decrees ''Christus Dominus'', ''Presbyterorum Ordinis'', ''Perfectae Caritatis'', and ''Ad gentes''. In 1966, Pope Paul VI issued norms to apply these instructions through the motu proprio ''Ecclesiae Sanctae''. The ''Pontificia Commissio Codici iuris canonici recognoscendo'', which had been established in 1963, continued the work of revising the Code of Canon Law through the pontificate of Paul VI, completing the work in the first years of the pontificate of John Paul II. On 25 January 1983, with the Apostolic Constitution ''Sacrae disciplinae leges'' John Paul II promulgated the current Code of Canon Law for all members of the Catholic Church who belonged to the Latin Church. It entered into force the first Sunday of the following Advent,〔 which was 27 November 1983.〔 In the Apostolic Constitution, the Pope described the new Code as "the last document of Vatican II". In 1998 Pope John Paul II issued the motu proprio ''(Ad Tuendam Fidem )'', which amended two canons (750 and 1371) of the 1983 Code of Canon Law and two canons (598 and 1436) of the 1990 Code of Canons of the Eastern Churches, so as to add "new norms which expressly impose the obligation of upholding truths proposed in a definitive way by the Magisterium of the Church, and which also establish related canonical sanctions." On December 15, 2009, Pope Benedict XVI issued the motu proprio ''(Omnium in Mentem )'', which amended five canons (1008, 1009, 1086, 1117, 1124) of the 1983 Code of Canon Law clarifying that, among those in Holy Orders, only bishops and priests received the power and mission to act in the person of Christ the Head while deacons obtained the faculty to exercise the ''diakonias'' of service, Word, and charity. The amendments also removed formal defection from the Catholic faith as excusing Catholics from the canonical form of marriage. On 15 August 2015, Pope Francis issued the motu proprio ''Mitis Iudex Dominus Iesus'' reforming the matrimonial nullity trial processes of the 1983 Code of Canon Law, dealing with declaring the nullity of marriage. The document was made public on 8 September 2015.〔(Pope Francis reforms Church law in marital nullity trials ), Vatican Radio, accessed 8 September 2015〕 While there have been many vernacular translations of the Code, only the original Latin text has the force of law.〔(CanonLaw.info ), accessed Jan-11-2013〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「1983 Code of Canon Law」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
