Canon Law: From Annulments to Sacraments, an Insider’s Look at Church Law

Brilliantly taught and filled with helpful, real-world examples, this survey course was designed with your practical canon law questions in mind.

You are invited to join one of America''s leading canon law experts, Fr. Arthur J. Espelage, O.F.M., J.C.D., in exploring the principles and rules that govern our religious conduct.

In 12 masterful audio lectures that cover 2,000 years of church laws, you’ll see how religion and the lives of all Catholics are intertwined in spiritual, practical, cultural, and historical ways. As you do so, you’ll come to understand the meaning of Jesus'' teaching that "the Sabbath law was made for humankind, and not humankind for the Sabbath" (Mark 2:27).

In this course, you''ll explore the sources of canon law—sacred Scripture, theology, and tradition—before looking at how these laws permeate the Seven Sacraments, church membership, and ecumenical councils. In the process, you’ll gain deep insights into how religious rules affect the lives of lay Catholics and clergy.

By studying these laws, you will come to understand how embracing religious belief and practices is essential for a new evangelization based in truth and mercy. This course is an essential examination of a vitally important but often misunderstood topic in the Catholic faith.

Don''t miss this opportunity to enrich your understanding of this fascinating subject.
