Canon Law
The law of the Church; based on religious beliefs. Has little or no
legal effect today except in full or partial theocracies.
It is a misnomer to call it law as canon law has little or no legal effect
today
Misnomer = nama yg salah; istilah yg tidak cocok.
Isinya mencakup : the process of religious service, criteria for
baptism, funerals, prohibited conduct, church property, and internal
boards which have jurisdiction over Church matters (ecclesiastic
courts).
In most modern societies, church and state have been separated;
the government will not enforce canon law and the Church has no
privileged voice within in the law-making apparatus of the state.
Also known as ecclesiastical law (hk kependetaan/kerohaniawan/
HK GEREJA).

Every diocesan bishop is required to appoint a judicial
vicar, or officialis, who is to have ordinary jurisdiction
over all cases except those that the bishop may reserve
to himself. Other officials include the promoter of justice
and the defender of the bond (relating to holy orders and
matrimony). The tribunal of second instance, or court of
appeal, is the archdiocesan, or metropolitan, court. The
pope, as the supreme judge for the whole Roman
Catholic world, may hear cases himself. The ordinary
tribunal for receiving appeals to the Holy See is the
Roman Rota. The Supreme Tribunal of the Apostolic
Signatura is competent to hear complaints against a
sentence of the Rota or any act of an ecclesiastical
administrative power alleging error of law or procedure.
