Justice in the Church

This book by Carlos Jose Errazuriz M. explains different juridical theories and the Church’s response to each. The classical antijuridical theories–spiritualist and statist–are explained and scrutinized in light of Catholic tradition. New attitudes toward canon law since the reforms of Vatican II are presented and explained. Finally, the author presents a fundamental theory of canon law based on justice. He offers both static and dynamic views of what is just in the Church and the role each plays in her life.
