Canon Law for Religious

the long version

CANON LAW FOR RELIGIOUS is an explanation of the new canons on religious, promulgated by John Paul II, January 25, 1983 and effective from November 27 of the same year. It is concerned only with religious institutes and their members, not with secular institutes nor societies of apostolic life. The book is intended for all religious institutes but with the institutes of brothers, nuns and sisters very prominently in mind, especially as regards the practice of the Sacred Congregation for Religious and for Secular Institutes. The purpose is to explain the canons, not to advocate any position on the Church or religious institutes, whether conservative, moderate or liberal.
