Difficulties in Interpretation of Canon 868 § 2 of the 1983 Code of Canon Law. Legal and Theological Questions
Journal Title: Kościół i Prawo - Year 2018, Vol 7, Issue 1
Abstract
Doubts related to the norm contained in can. 868 § 2 of the 1983 Code of Canon Law appear from the very beginning with many authors of canonical literature. Two fundamental issues are reflected in this canon, namely the right to religious freedom, which is one of the basic human rights and on the other hand the necessity of baptism for salvation. Therefore, it is not easy to interpret this canon. Both theological and legal issues should be deepened in order to clarify any doubts related to the current canonical norm. This study is an attempt to give an interpretation, which on the one hand explains most of the doubts arising from the interpenetration of different theological and legal issues in this norm, and on the other hand, which is in accordance with the teaching of the Catholic Church and the intention of the universal legislator.
