About the programme
The Catholic Church, with more than a billion members, is the world's largest organisation, governed by a single system of codified law and a range of other norms governing its internal life and its relations with other organisations, religious communities and the so-called secular, secular sphere on a global scale. The term "canon law" itself can be defined as a set of norms issued or confirmed by a competent ecclesiastical authority in order to properly order and protect the life of the ecclesial community, as well as to safeguard the rights and enforce the duties of the faithful. In this context, it is necessary to reflect that the Catholic Church is an organization that creates for its members a firm personal, psychological and communal rootedness comparable to, and in some ways stronger than, their relationship to the national or political structures of which they are members and whose relations are governed by civil law. As for the need to study this legal system itself, as is well known, knowledge of it belongs to the comprehensive formation of every lawyer. Our study programme, within a secular institution, has the ambition not only to provide a summary overview of the legal system of the Catholic Church, but also to prepare specialized professionals possessing detailed knowledge in this area. After all, their training should not be left exclusively to the so-called ecclesiastical institutions, but cooperation with them should lead to the setting of appropriate standards for the implementation of the study. This process is guaranteed, above all, by the approval of the study programme by the relevant central bodies of the Roman Curia, which we are similarly striving to achieve. The main objective of the Canon Law study programme is thus to provide an education of the highest standard comparable to that of the Pontifical Universities or any other similar institution anywhere in the world.
