Title: Catholics laws systems.
Name: Ashanti Diaz Ocampo.
Definition of the Catholic Church law system.
Is the body of laws and regulations made by or adopted by ecclesiastical authority, for the government of the Christian organization and its members. It is the internal ecclesiastical law governing the Roman Catholic Church, the Eastern and Oriental Orthodox churches, and the Anglican Communion of churches. The way that such church law is legislated, interpreted and at times adjudicated varies widely among these three bodies of churches. In all three traditions, a canon was initially a rule adopted by a council (From Greek kanon / κανών, Hebrew kaneh / קנה, for rule, standard, or measure); these canons formed the foundation of canon law.
The catholic law has bases in different documents.
The Apostolic Canons or Ecclesiastical Canons of the Same Holy Apostles are ancient documents that govern the discipline of the early Christian church.
The last of these decrees contains a very important list or canon of the Holy Scriptures. In the original Koine Greek text they claim to be the very legislation of the Apostles themselves, at least as promulgated by their great disciple, Pope Clement I. Nevertheless, the claim to genuine apostolic origin is generally considered untenable. Some, like Beveridge and Hefele, believe that they were originally drawn up about the end of the second or the beginning of the third century. Most modern critics agree that they could not have been composed before the Council of Antioch of 341, some twenty of whose canons they quote; nor even before the latter end of the fourth century, since they are certainly posterior to the Apostolic Constitutions.
The New Testament is the most know example of catholic law.
Is the name given to the second major division of the Christian Bible, the first such division being the much longer Old Testament. The New Testament is sometimes called the Greek New Testament, Greek Scriptures, the New Covenant, or the New Law.
The original texts were written by various authors sometime after c. A.D. 45, most likely in Koine Greek (according to Greek primacy), the lingua franca of the eastern part of the Roman Empire. Rylands Library Papyrus P52 is generally accepted as the earliest extant record of a canonical New Testament text, which dates somewhere between 117 A.D. and 138 A.D.
Its books were gradually collected into a single volume. Although the Roman Catholic church differs from Protestant denominations as to which works are included in the Old Testament, (see Antilegomena), Christianity has settled on the same twenty-seven book canon of the New Testament: it consists of the four narratives of the life and death of Jesus, called "gospels"; a narrative of the Apostles' ministries in the early church, probably by the same author as the Gospel of Luke, which it continues; twenty-one early letters, commonly called "epistles" in biblical context, written by various authors and consisting mostly of Christian counsel and instruction; and an Apocalyptic prophecy.
There are a lot of similitudes in the law system in the Catholic Church and other religions that were born of Christians.
The Orthodox Church has big influence of the Greek culture and philosophy.
The Greek-speaking Orthodox have collected canons and commentaries upon them in a work known as the Pēdálion (Greek: Πηδάλιον, "Rudder"), so named because it is meant to "steer" the Church. The Orthodox Christian tradition in general treats its canons more as guidelines than as laws, the bishops adjusting them to cultural and other local circumstances. Some Orthodox canon scholars point out that, had the Ecumenical Councils (which deliberated in Greek) meant for the canons to be used as laws, they would have called them nómoi/νόμοι (laws) rather than kanónes/κανόνες (rules), but almost all Orthodox conform to them. The dogmatic decisions of the Councils, though, are to be obeyed rather than to be treated as guidelines, since they are essential for the Church's unity.
The laws of the Anglican Church variety is big, because it´s different in the groups.
The Anglican Communion as a whole, unlike the Roman Catholic Church, does not have a centralized Canon law of its own. Each of the autonomous member churches of Anglicanism, however, does have a canonical system. Some, such as the Church of England have an ancient, highly-developed canon law while others, such as the Episcopal Church in the United States have a less-refined system.
Just as in the Catholic Church the Methodist church has a book in which they tell their codes of behave and discipline.
The Book of Discipline constitutes the law and doctrine of the United Methodist Church[1]. It follows similar works for its predecessor denominations.
It was originally published in 1784, in the Methodist Episcopal Church, and has been published every four years thereafter following the meeting of the General Conference, which passes legislation that is included in the Book of Discipline. The most recent edition is that of 2008.
The basic unit of reference is the paragraph, not the page, chapter or section. The paragraphs are numbered consecutively within each chapter or section, but numbers are skipped between chapters or sections. The paragraph is often only a few lines, but many are several pages long and they can be divided into multiple subdivisions. Paragraphs are first divided using arabic numerals (1, 2, 3,...) which can itself be divided by italicized lower case letters with parentheses (a), b), c), d)...) which may itself be divided using arabic numerals within double parentheses ((1), (2), (3),...)
Traditionally a list of all the bishops with the year of their election is at the beginning of the book. That is followed by a brief history of the church, then the church constitution, and a statement concerning the doctrine and theology of the church. The Social Principles of the church follow. Finally the legislative section, by far the largest part of The Discipline, appears

Outline.
Thesis Statement
The church has been facing a wave of faith loss in the last decade, this is because, men it’s evolving in his way of living. It can be because technology improvement has changed our lifestyle, or trends that have mixed up men together creating new ways of thinking, and the church needs to adapt its laws to this new era.
1) Celibacy Its One Of The Most Discussed topics in recent years.
This can be seen from a lot of point of views with numerous solutions as soft as also as hard as possible. Seeing it from a social point of view, or a religious, or simply a human point of view
II. Celibacy, ¿bad or good?
A. Celibacy is viewed by people as as both bad or good,but it depends
on the point of view. Some think it is a cruel supression of
the human condition as "sexual being" and that it is a down spiral that
make you hate yourself for desiring natural things in us humans. In some cases, people can become priests dueto the urge to supress this "needs" , but as it has been discused, being
a preist, or a man of church does not supress biological "urges" or
needs". On the other side, some see it as a way of controlling themselves,
their desires and feelings, to become more selfless or "selfish" and gain
another level of consciousness.

2. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clerical_celibacy
The Church its Against Gay Weddings and gay couples adopting children.
B. The church it’s strictly against gay or lesbic weddings, because they say that no matter what society legislates or stablishes as permitted they say the “law of god” its very clear, that a marriage of a couple of the same sex its an unholy union. As they claim, “marriage is a union not only of two people who careabout each other but also an important part of society that creates it and sustains it. And a union like this it is against god’s view of man, so you are practically going against god’s will.

III. A gay couple adopting children has negative effects on the development of the family circle and the child’s growth
They claim that adopting a child or children into a homosexual couple can cause serious problems and confusion in the child’s sexual development or view of family structure also of society. Also they say that it would be as if they were “infecting” their condition to other “normal” human being. Also it is important to see that in a lot of cases it is not legal or the couple has no rights because of their “outlaw union”

Iv) Religion is against Birth Control and condoms because they think it goes against the natural law
Religion forbids any kind of birth control because they say it interferes with god’s work, or god’s gift to us, children. They say it turns sex that should be a unifying act between man and women and turns it into an act of pure pleasure and makes it twisted and evil

Discussion
Again all the new topics we researched on are very interesting, we think this is a very good topic with a lot of sources and information we can use, because it involves a lot of aspects of human life and how it has changed and it’s been changing until now and how does religion influences this way of living. Obviously a lot of approaches can be made, so its going to be pretty interesting to decide which side to take in the end.
