Description
Canon Law: A Comparative Study with Anglo-American Legal Theory explores the canon law of the Roman Catholic Church from a comparative perspective. It offers an overview of canon law as the "home system" in this comparative study and considers antinomian and legal approaches to the rule of law in light of three specific issues: the sexual abuse crisis, the ownership of church property, and the denial of Holy Communion to Catholic public officials. Although the three issues arise in the context of the United States, they raise broader theoretical issues about antinomianism, legalism, and the rule of law. Throughout the comparative study, American legal theory functions to clarify these broader issues in canon law.
