The Pontifical Council for Legislative Texts is a department of the Catholic Church’s Vatican that reviews, interprets, and ensures consistency of Church laws and regulations. It assists in the development and codification of canon law, making sure that church laws are clear, coherent, and correctly applied across the global Catholic community. It works closely with other church authorities to maintain legal uniformity and addresses questions about the authority and meaning of Church legislation. Overall, its role is to support the Church’s legal framework, enabling it to function effectively and faithfully according to its doctrinal principles.
