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
