- Title
De la centralidad de la ley al primado de la persona en el Derecho de la Iglesia. Historia y perspectivas canónicas en el centenario del Código de 1917.

- Abstract
The author shows how the first Code of Canon Law, now one hundred years old, is a milestone in the two-thousand legal history of the Church. The 1917 Code marked a shift from a «jurisprudential» to a «legislative» mode of law: the authority of the Code no longer comes from its legal contents as such but from its promulgation by the legislator. Thus, the law and the legislator are assigned central roles in canon law. However, in a more comprehensive understanding of the doctrine and ecclesial magisterium in this regard the centrality of the law as such has begun to yield to the person: the dignity and freedom, the fundamental rights and duties of the person. Contemporary canon law continues to articulate the primacy of the person.
