LOI BIBLIQUE -- LOI NATURELLE LE DROIT CANONIQUE COMME EXPRESSION JURIDIQUE D'UNE RENCONTRE ORIGINALE ENTRE LOI BIBLIQUE ET LOI NATURELLE.

LE BOT, LOÏC-MARIE

Canon Law has as its sources in both the revealed divine law and in the natural law inscribed in human nature by the Creator. It could also be said that canon law proceeds from both sources in its materiality, efficient causality, form and finality. Canon law as the law of the Church is ultimately dependent on Revelation and the natural law that ground every juridical system, that is, they give it its origin and its end and allow it to be. The natural and supernatural finalities are articulated together: the former ensures respect for justice while the latter ensures the communication of salvation. Their union gives the law of the Church its original character. A particularly convincing example of the encounter and complementarity of natural law and biblical law is found in the law of marriage and, more surprisingly, in that of the profession of evangelical counsels.
