Unlawful to force an embrace the catholic faith against their conscience. Old code: 1351, CCEO 586; Could it also say no one is permitted to force a person to stay in the church against conscience. It's important to take conscience seriously - it is the contact of a person with God. If this is lacking, there is formal adherence to the rules, but where is the power of the truth to save. See compassionate orthodoxy.

Catechetical instruction isn't preaching, even if done in church. Can be permitted by the rector – as one responsible for the church. No norms in Belgium. Preaching is public speaking in a liturgical context, mission talks, presentation of ministries. PCILT, based on canon 86 said this can't be dispensed because it's essential to church's Ordo Celebrandi – this is the official position – the theoretical rational is lack of training of laity, but this is not tenable in today's society.

- 756.1 Canons on transmission of the word of God. Ministry of the divine word – we are not masters – not my word, not your word, but THE word. The Roman Pontiff and bishops consider themselves as the ones insuring the continuity of the word: 336, 337. What the college with the Roman Pontiff declare as correct or not correct, they feel is the final word, the last criteria.

Ministry of the divine word – we are not masters – not my word, not your word, but THE word. All are commissioned by Christ to preach the word. The Roman Pontiff and bishops claim to insure the continuity of the word: 336, 337, declaring what is correct or not correct. The different categories of the faithful have different responsibilities and roles. This is quite general for the universal church. If the wrong person preaches, it doesn't make it invalid – and it's not against divine law but in accord with the great commission. But the church sets up rules on this. US: Four canons on responsibilities Hierarchs - munus / Clerics - officium/servire / Religious - convenienter / Lay testes, vocari. two on scope.

Canon 228 - Lay people who are ''suitable'' can be admitted to offices and functions; this is new in the 1983 code as a part of the declericalization of the church. Outside the code, two elements are needed to communicate faith: sufficient knowledge and an understanding of the socio-cultural-religio-economic reality of the person you are communicating to.

- '''Canon 751''' Heretics have to be motivated - not in the pub. Obstinate denial or doubt after baptism of a truth which must be believed by divine and catholic faith. Apostasy is the total reputiation of the christian faith. Schism is the withdrawal of submission to the Supreme Pontiff or communion with the members of the church subject to him. Canon 1364 punishes these with excommunication. Those who go in good faith don't incur the censure, nor do those under 16 years old. - '''Canon 752 Religious Submission''' is required to anthing the pope or college of bishops declare, even if not by definitive act but by ordinary magisterium - i.e. even if they aren't sure, the members have to follow. - '''Canon 753 Authentic Instructors''' Bishops are authentic instructors, even if not infallible and members are bound by religious submission i.e. passive faith. So there is only one thinking believer in the diocese.	+ '''Canon 751''' + Heretics have to be motivated - not in the pub.

- '''Canon 755 Ecumenism''' Holy See and the College of Bishops are responsible for the ecumenical movement. There are several ecumenical directories - Number 3 - 1993. Directorium is published by a congregation with doctrinal and juridical texts. It is not new law, but a restatement of the law; a handbook with law and doctrine on a certain topic. Compendium - seems to be more of a private collection.	+ '''Canon 755 Ecumenism''' + Holy See and the College of Bishops are responsible for the ecumenical movement.

- '''Canon 757 Presbyters''' Presbyters are coworkers in the gospels. Proprium est... - I.e. it is proper to the role of priest. - '''Canon 758 Religious''' Consecrated religious give witness in a special way and they are fittingly called on by the bishop for the proclamation of the gospel. - '''Canon 759 Lay People''' Laypeople are also witnesses and can be called to cooperate in the exercise of the ministry of the word.

Bishops / priests speak in the name of the church, and they have to make laws to make people listen. - '''Canon 760 Complete and Faithful ''' Mystery of Christ is to be set forth completely and faithfully from Scripture, Tradition (which basically is confined to some strains of Western European tradition), liturgy, teaching and life of the church. Munus docendi and sanctificandi are linked. Canon 392 Control the word. LDF: sometimes we speak a language to difficult – or perhaps disconnected from life. - '''Canon 761 Preaching & Catechesis''' Pride of place for preaching and catechesis, but schools, higher education, social communication.

- '''Canon 762 Preaching''' Preaching is done in the context of liturgy – liturgical presiders first: sacred ministers. Ministers are to hold the ministry of preaching in high esteem. Jesus gave the great commandment to preach, but this canon limits it to ordained ministers. - '''Canon 763 Bishops''' Bishops preach everywhere – they claim in this canon the right to speak – unless the local bishop expressly forbids it in particular cases. This includes churches and oratories of religious. See canons 1214, 1223. - '''Canon 764 Ordained''' Priests and deacons have the right to preach everywhere, they have to have at least the presumed consent of the rector, but this canon gives the bishop the right to regulate this. - '''Canon 765 Religious Houses''' Preaching to religious in their churches requires permission of the competent superior. For a religious house, inside actions don't require permission of the bishop. - '''Canon 766 Laity''' Laity may be allowed to preach 1) if necessary, 2) advantageous, 3) according to provisions of the Bishops' Conference. Link between preaching and Eucharist: Eucharist appears as the source and summit of all preaching of the Gospel (PO, 5). Preaching in the strict sense is only speaking in the sacred place in liturgy. Catechetical instruction isn't preaching, even if done in church. Can be permitted by the rector – as one responsible for the church. No norms in Belgium. Preaching is public speaking in a liturgical context, mission talks, presentation of ministries. PCILT, based on canon 86 said this can't be dispensed because it's essential to church's Ordo Celebrandi – this is the official position – the theoretical rational is lack of training of laity, but this is not tenable in today's society. There are of course solutions – speaking at other times, etc. Suggests it's exceptional. - '''Canon 767 At Mass''' 1) Preaching at Eucharist after Gospel is the homily and is reserved here to priest or deacon. 2) Sunday and holyday must have homily. 3) If there are enough people, then on weekdays as well there should be a short homily as well. In paragraph three, mass is mentioned, but in paragraph one, it isn't mentioned mass. So what about at baptism? Apparently, that isn't homily, but preaching.	+ '''Canon 762 Preaching.''' + Preaching is done in the context of liturgy – liturgical presiders first: sacred ministers.

They started as mission territory; then apostolic prefecture; then apostolic vicariate which is a particular church governed by a titular bishop - vicar apostolic; then diocese. Generally started by religious order - then a diocesan clergy was started, sometimes there were problems with a diocesan priest becoming bishop. Also, white priests had money from Europe, so parishes preferred them to the native priests with no money. Religious provincial also may have conflict of power with the local bishop. Rome has the money which it uses for doctrinal control. They are still under evangelization of peoples (Red Pope over 900 local churches). Would it be a possibility to have regional congregations - e.g. Asia, Africa, America, Europe, etc. Eastern Churches and Bishops are over the other churches. - '''Canon 787''' Testimony of words and life brings the church to a dialog with the local church.

Preaching is public speaking in a liturgical context, mission talks, presentation of ministries.

Preaching is public speaking in a liturgical context, mission talks, presentation of ministries.

In paragraph three, mass is mentioned, but in paragraph one, it isn't mentioned mass. So what about at baptism? Apparently, that isn't homily, but preaching.

E.g. the Catechism of the Catholic Church. Some notes: catechesis was different in the beginning and theology began in Alexandria in 2nd 3rd century. Thousands of scrolls. Lay initiative to start dialog between hellenistic culture and Christianity. Catechesis is instruction after baptism for the various groups. First handbook is a work of St. Augustine – [http://la.wikisource.org/wiki/De_cathechizandis_rudibus de catechezandi rudibus]: 1) preparation for baptism; 2) practical examples of Christian life. It was on how to organize a Christian life, not a transmission of doctrine as now. Middle ages it was for parents, priests, catechists, but no distinction between general preaching and catechesis. 1514 Lateran IV began systemization, and mandated by Trent – with specific instruction for Sundays and feastdays for children and parents, thus distinguishing preaching and catechesis. 1528 Nuremberg saw the first catechism in questions and answers. Martin Luther also developed two catechisms, a small one and a larger one. [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Petrus_Canisius Peter Canesius], German Jesuit 1521-1597 published 3 catechisms. Translated into 15 languages and 200 editions. [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roman_Catechism The Roman Catechism] (also called, the Catechism of the Council of Trent of Borromeo) was first published in 1566 under the authority of the Council of Trent. It was not intended for common use by the laity, but as a general use reference book for priests and bishops. Very common in the 18th century. 1917 code had little on catechetics. Universal Catechism planned by Pius X but never finished; Gaspari made one in 1930 with parts for 1) very young children, 2) teens, 3) adults (Q&A); the Dutch catechism in 1966; another universal one in 1992 from bishops synod in 1985. Catechesis was discussed in recent synods. Evangelii Nuntiandi 1975, Catechesi Tradendi 1979. Christus Dominus 1965 mentions need for directories, including for catechetics which was published in 1971 by Congregation for Clergy, new edition 1997 (directory is doctrine and juridic document with a summary of a topic). Code has general requirement to give instruction, and people have a right to instruction in Canon 217. Canon 229.1 lay persons have a right to obtain Christian doctrine so that they can live, proclaim, defend it and exercise the apostolate. As people grow, their faith needs to grow as well. May be more important than preaching because it is more direct. Difference between old and new code: now all the Christian faithful must assist. Bishops Conferences to organize this in their territory.

This should be by the various types of groups, should be entire and should be directed to life. Canon 386 for Bishops to preach and to ensure the canons on preaching and catechetics are observed.

The Roman Pontiff and bishops consider themselves as the ones insuring the continuity of the word: 336, 337. What the college with the Roman Pontiff declare as correct or not correct, they feel is the final word, the last criteria.

	+ Some say that in general the munus docendi seems to be the resonsibility of the hierarchs and the accent is too much on clerics; but it is the responsibilility of the ecclesiae. The Hierarcs are responsible for difiniendi, and transmittendi for the lay people. There are a lot of canons where lay people are involved. Canon 213 - the Christian faithful have the right to the assistance of the word of God and in Canon 217 right to christian education. Canon 229 Christian faithful have the right to proclaim and defend christian teaching and take part in the apostolate and to obtain academic degrees. Book by Alexandre Faivre wrote on the third century development of the distinction between clergy and lay: Ordonnez la fraternite. At the beginning of the church catechesis was a lay responsibility, this was gradually clericized. Some say 'lay' wan't used for women, though the gospels and St. Paul speaks of women assisting. Lay teachers of theology have an academic bent - but can academic be divorced from one's own faith, or from pastoral work. Canon 228 - Lay people who are ''suitable'' can be admitted to offices and functions; this is new in the 1983 code as a part of the declericalization of the church. Outside the code, two elements are needed to communicate faith: sufficient knowledge and an understanding of the socio-cultural-religio-economic reality of the person you are communicating to. Message and receiver are the poles of the sender's formulation of communication: message and experience, personal and collective. For lay people, they risk not knowing, for clergy, they risk having no experience. + Clear distinction between lay and clergy; and sufficient number of clergy to fulfill the responsibilities. Can we change the criteria to widen the pool? Go into all the theological faculties and invite the best of the students. Don't just sit back and wait for them - this is also a munus.

- [[TableOfContents]]	+ [[TableOfContents(right)]] + Book Three - Teaching Office - Organization of the Magisterium - Book Three can be studied under different aspects. + ECCLESIAE MUNERE DOCENDI - it is the task of the complete church, ecclesiae. Three munera was developed in the 19th C protestants in Germany, later brought into Catholic usage. 87 Canons, much of what is communicated is theological - but who speaks, who has the right to declare in the name of the church, this is law: homily, teaching catholic schools. The right can be taken away, and sometimes the teaching isn't in accord with the controller of doctrine. Controllers can correct, publicly declare official position in contradistinction, eg, CDF. There is a lot of law outside the code in this area. + '''Transmissio''' - transmitting the teaching of Jesus to suceeding generations Jesus didn't write anything, and now we have catechisms and councils. Jesus had a way of living, doing, interacting. Then he commented on what he did. Now we have depositum fidae which gathered what Jesus did and taught and successive reflections on it. Finally norms were written on the transmissio. The church is essentially communicatio of Jesus - it has a missionary character. We cannot imagine a church without this aspect. + '''Definitio''' - Early on there came the problem not only of transmitting, but of ''correct'' understanding. In the beginning of the 3rd C?? there came a discussion about what is correct understanding. Again after centuries, there came norms about the definition of doctrine. It is not in a particular book or chapter, but is found here and there throughout the book. ''Magisterium'' Maior - people who have more, Magister - teacher, one who knows more. Ministerium - minor - lesser, the one following. These became the technical terms for the decider and the follower. + Book Three starts with 9 Canons without a title - introductory material. There can be a doubt about the role of the canons. Title 1, Ministry of the divine word also starts with canons without a title. Then chapter 1 on Preaching and chapter 2 on Catechetics. Title 2 is on the mission activity of hte church. Only two canons in the old code even mentioned missions, one said that only the pope had responsibility for all missions. The second canon spoke about parish missions every 10 years. Title 3 is on Catholic Education, beginning with soem general Canons without a title. Then three chapters on Schools, Higher Education and Ecclesiastical Universities and Faculties - under the direct control of church authorities; these were originally created for training of those who lead the church in higher responsibilities. Title 4 is on Instruments of Social Communication - and books in particular. If they could figure out how to say internet in latin, they might make norms. Title 5 contains only one canon (833), on administering the profession of faith. From time to time a text is promulgated, in 1989 a new text was published in L'OR with three extra paragraphs. This came just before the effective date of the Pastor Bonus Constitution reorganization of the Roman Curia - the oath of fidelity was also given. It later came in AAS - it was a bit late for the need. This title doesn't have to be in this book, but it was here in the old codex. + In the old canon, there are some parallels with Book 3 de rebus. (Pars prima, de sacramentis, Pars secundus - de locis et temporalis sacris, (now book 4) Pars tertio - de culta divino (part in book 4), Pars quatro de magisterio ecclesiastico - now book three. It is not just the task of bishops. In the old book 2, de personis it was first clericis (genere, then specialae - all offices were found there, so that power was just for clerics), then religiosis, then laicis. Also teaching was just magisterial.) De divini verbi praedicationi - now it is ministeri. Old code then had de seminariis - which moved from book three to book two. Nothing on the missions. + The Eastern Code is also important. The teaching function is not a book, but a title 15 on Ecclesiastical Magisterium. + *Schema of 1977 with the first redaction of the canons for book 3 - at that time 85 canons.

	+ The Church has the right and duty to teach the gospels to all peoples. It is a right that is inherent in being church. This is declarative, it is not law. An affirmation, a mission statement. The first canon of books 5-7 declares right of the church to do certain things. Canon 1254 (Book 5) also declares the right of the church to own and administer temporal goods. Canon 1311 (Book 6) declares the right to coerce offending members with penal sanctions. Canon 1401 (Book 7) declares right to judge ecclesiastical matters. Keep in mind that this is not formal law, and it binds noone but Catholics. It could be based on Constitutional norm on religious freedom, and international conventions on human rights: e.g. Based on the universally accepted principles of religious freedom . . . . + It is also an obligatio. + The church has the right because the Lord has engrusted the depositum fidei to the church - a complete message. The church has the right to: 1) custodiret, 2) intimius perscrutaretur, 3) fideliter annuntiaret atque 4) exponeret. + Here and there you find another way to say the same thing. CCEO 601 says: especially bishops, in an adapted manner: ''answering the perennial questions concerning the meaning of life and having examined the signs of the times in the light of the gospel, recommending Christian solutions to the more pressing problems, so that the light of Christ might shine everywhere more brightly illuminating all people.'' This is a more dynamic concept of faith, more than depositum which seems more static. Faith and culture in mutually enriching dialogue. In 1911, in Strasbourg a professor became bishop of Speyer, and in 1918 he became bishop of Munich and later cardinal - his motto: ''vox temporis, vox dei'' Faulhaber. + 1) Independent of worldly power 2) to all peoples; 3) 1322.2 of old codex + ''§2 The Church has the right always and everywhere to 1) proclaim moral principles, even in respect of the social order, and 2) to make judgements about any human matter in so far as this is required by fundamental human rights or the salvation of souls.'' So religion isn't a private affair, e.g. enforced secularism is not in accord with this. 595 CCEO. + 1. Being a follower of Christ has an impact on our complete life. + 1. Being christian requires also a social structure to support the life. + *The canon is a declaratio starting from the nature of church. A non-juridic introduction to a juridic chapter.

	+ Preaching is general, homily is specific - exclusive for priest or deacon - question without answer: can a bishop dispense from this? Pontifical Council said no, can't dispense because it part of universal norms. Though there are ways of working around it. + [http://www.vatican.va/roman_curia/pontifical_councils/intrptxt/documents/rc_pc_intrptxt_doc_22091998_authentic-interp_lt.html Authentic Interpretation]
