The Ecumenical Aspects in the 1983 Code of Canon Law

Journal Title: Kościół i Prawo - Year 2016, Vol 5, Issue 1

Abstract

The Code of Canon Law as a post-conciliar set of rights, should contain the Second Vatican Council’s recommendations and accept the Council’s teaching. One of the aspects which should be included in the Code of Canon Law was the ecumenical aspect – promotion of the unity of all Christians. Among the documents there are a few which talk about ecumenism – the Decree on Ecumenism Unitatis redintegratio, the Dogmatic Constitution on the Church Lumen gentium, the Encyclical Letter Ut unum sint and the Ecumenical Directory. Among the ecumenical aspects there are: promotion of the unity of all Christians; sacraments – baptism, Eucharist, penance, anointing of the sick, marriage and other forms of communicatio. Their analysis helped show the ecumenical aspects in the Code of Canon Law. The conclusions will define, how ecumenical the 1983 Code of Canon Law is.
