"Administrative Legislation in the New Code of Canon Law" provides a comprehensive and scholarly examination of the regulatory frameworks established by the 1917 Code of Canon Law. Written by Henry Amans Ayrinhac, a distinguished expert in ecclesiastical jurisprudence, this work serves as an essential guide to the administrative functions and legal structures of the Catholic Church during a pivotal era of codification.
The book meticulously analyzes the laws governing the internal management of the Church, offering clarity on the duties and powers of ecclesiastical authorities. It covers critical topics such as the administration of church property, the appointment of officials, and the legal procedures required for valid administrative acts. By focusing on the practical application of these laws, Ayrinhac bridges the gap between theoretical legal principles and the daily governance of religious institutions.
This volume is a vital resource for canonists, clergy, and historians of religion who seek to understand the systemic organization of the Church in the early twentieth century. Its clear exposition and disciplined analysis of the "New Code" make it a foundational text for those studying the intersection of law, theology, and institutional administration within the Catholic tradition.
