Exclusion of bonum prolis in the 1983 Code of Canon Law and in the Code of Canons of the Eastern Churches
Journal Title: Kościół i Prawo - Year 2018, Vol 7, Issue 1
Abstract
The issue of procreation and education of offspring has always been the object of special concern for the Church. It appears, among others in legal regulation of this problem. The right and the duty to procreate and educate offspring was inevitably connected with general vision of marriage, it is purposes and property of matrimonial consent. Therefore, with the evolution of understanding of marriage itself in the history of canon law, the term of bonum prolis (good of the offspring) was also changed. Legal norms regarding the issue of exclusion of the good of the offspring contained in the 1983 Code of Canon Law (CIC/83) and in the 1990 Code of Canons of the Eastern Churches (CCEO), which was mentioned in the introduction of this article, are identical in their bodies. Only can. 776 § 1 CCEO is a kind of complement of can. 1055 § 1 CIC/83, which speaks about structure of marriage. In turn, can. 1061 § 1 CIC/83, which is a specific definition of consummated and valid marriage, has no equivalent in CCEO. The procreation and education of offspring is the natural purpose and the culmination of marriage. Marital acts should be directed towards procreation and must be performed in a natural and human fashion. Hence, the exclusion of acts of conjugal living which are open to procreation of offspring, taken with a positive act of the will results in the invalidity of the marriage itself.
