II for comparative studies ofthe Eastern and Latin Codes. His Holiness urged such studies in

order to promote a knowledge of the “one Corpus Juris Canonicf ofthe universal Church.

This work contains nine such studies regarding the corresponding Eastern and Latin norms

that govern the consecrated life, marriage, general norms, temporal goods, and procedure.

In the light of the Holy See’s Explanatory Note regarding CCEO canon 1 (December 8,

2011) and Pope Francis’ motu proprio De Concordia inter Codices (September 15, 2016),

comparative studies of the codes have assumed even greater importance. For this reason,

three pertinent articles (chapter 10-12) have been added to the third edition ofthis book.

The comparative studies’ findings clearly indicate that, while parallel Eastern and Latin

canons are sometimes similar, the two Codes are simply not the same. A knowledge of the

Codes as different, however, is not the only reason why comparative studies are useful. The

author shows that knowing these differences is often necessary and a matter of practical

importance. This will be true, for example, in cases of interritual marriage, in providing for

the pastoral care of Eastern Catholics entrusted to the care of a Latin bishop, or even in

applying different procedural rules when Latin canonists serve on an Eastern tribunal.

It is also evident from the studies’ findings that the Eastern and Latin Codes are not

so distinctly separate as to be unrelated. The author explains that there are Eastern canons

which expressly (explicitly/ implicitly) also affect the Latin Church. Comparative studies,

then, serve to define more clearly the interrelation between the two Codes.

On the basis of his comparative studies, the author is convinced that canonists are only

beginning to reap the benefits that were evidently intended by the pope’s call for such studies

ofthe Eastern and Latin Codes...
