Understanding Today's Catholic Parish

Front Cover
Twenty-Third Publications, 2007 - Religion - 174 pages
Three sections on pastoral theology, canon law and civil law offer the reader grounding in the fundamentals of three important--and surprisingly related--aspects of parish operation. Part one offers clear directives for reaching this goal and for better understanding the history and nature of parish as we experience it today. Part two deals with select issues concerning the administration of a parish as described in canon law. Part three offers a practical and helpful guide for parish ministers to better identify legal problems and avoid them, to know when and how to seek legal advice, and to better understand the basic legal principles regarding parish issues. --Book cover.
