Church Law

Church law, also known as canon law, is the legal system governing the organization, practices, and issues within a church community. It provides guidelines for church governance, sacramental procedures, discipline, and the rights and responsibilities of members and clergy. Essentially, it helps ensure that the church operates smoothly, fairly, and in accordance with its faith and traditions. Think of it as a set of rules and principles that maintain order and uphold the spiritual mission of the church.
