The Codex Iuris Canonici is a book written by Pope Pius X that serves as the official compilation of the laws and regulations of the Catholic Church. It is also known as the Code of Canon Law and was first published in 1917. The book covers a wide range of topics, including the sacraments, the hierarchy of the Church, the rights and obligations of the laity, and the administration of Church property. The Codex Iuris Canonici is considered an essential reference for anyone involved in the administration of the Catholic Church, including bishops, priests, and laypeople. It has been revised several times since its initial publication, most recently in 1983, to reflect changes in the Church and society. Despite its age, the Codex Iuris Canonici remains a vital resource for understanding the legal and administrative structures of the Catholic Church.Text In Latin.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
