Studies in Canon Law in the Depths of Reforms
Journal Title: Kościół i Prawo - Year 2019, Vol 8, Issue 1
Abstract
The reform of higher education in Poland (2018) affects also studies in canon law (starting from the classification of disciplines). In parallel with the governmental reform, this course of study is being adapted to the norms of Pope Francis’ Apostolic Constitution Veritatis gaudium on ecclesiastical universities and faculties (8.12.2017). In this article, after the question of “what and how to teach” is discussed in Part 1, a panorama of places and levels of education is presented in Part 2. The author discusses the teaching of canon law in the light of the Vatican II work, including the basic principles of the current regulations, drawing on his own experience. He believes that one cannot expect satisfactory results if the canon law reform is introduced administratively, disregarding proper scientific councils of institutes or faculties. Having mentioned “where to study” in the concluding section, he argues that “solutions adopted by individual entities offering courses of study do have and will have a decisive influence on the future of canon law taught as an academic discipline”, as well as in the area of fees and accessibility of university courses to foreigners.
