- Title
MISERICORDIA EXTRA CODICEM IN IUSTITIA.
- Authors
COPPENS, E. CHRISTIAN
- Abstract
The article discusses the role of officials or judicial vicars in law practice and manifests their need to take into consideration the other factors apart from written laws in dissenting justly. It recommends that an independent judicial organization can explain a law in equitable terms and can incorporate equity and misericordia back into modern canon law. It informs that a canon law cannot retain its value if a church sticks to a Codex and denies the adoption of modern standards of equity.
