	The St. Joseph Foundation - Canonical Basics
		Canon 889 explicates the phrase "duly and reasonably" by stating that each and every baptized person is capable of receiving the sacrament of confirmation who has the use of reason, is suitably instructed, is rightly disposed and is able to renew his baptismal promises.
		Canon 890 says that Christ’s faithful are bound to receive confirmation at a suitable time; and that parents, and also pastors of souls, are bound to see to it that they are properly instructed so that they may receive the sacrament at the proper time.
		Canon 1737, §1 states: "One who claims to have been injured by a decree can make recourse for any just reason to the hierarchical superior of the one who issued the decree." There are a number of steps in the process which must be taken in proper order and within the established time limits.

		On the other hand, nearly all canon lawyers are expected to have a solid grounding in theology since, as we have seen, canon law must be based on Church teaching in order to serve any useful purpose.
		The quality of the canonical opinion one gets from a canon lawyer will depend on all the usual things: the educational background of the canonist, his experience in the precise subject matter, and so on.
		Canon 897, for example, opens the Code's treatment of the Eucharist with a beautiful description of that august Sacrament as the source and summit of the Christian life.

	Canon, Canon Law
		In some Christian churches, canon is also an ecclesiastical title given to the clergy attached to a cathedral church or to certain types of priests living under a semimonastic rule, such as the Augustinians.
		Its 543 canons are organized in three parts: "The Christian Faithful," "The Hierarchical Constitution of the Church," and "Institutes [communities] of Consecrated Life and Societies of Apostolic Life." Among the Christian faithful a distinction is made between clergy and laity, and their respective rights and duties are spelled out.
		The canons prescribe the proper minister for each, the necessary dispositions on the part of the recipient, and the ceremonial to be observed.

	[No title]
		Lawyers, civil and canon, are trained to advise people about how to exercise their rights and to fulfill their obligations in accord with law.
		For suggestions on how to use canon lawyers let's divide Catholics into three groups: those who are in authority (such as diocesan bishops and parish pastors), those who directly assist Church leaders (such as diocesan or parish staff, or members of councils), and the laity of the Church, especially parishioners.
		Canon law can help explain what those changes were (or were not), which in turn can help lay people live their lives as members of God's holy people with more understanding and effectiveness.

		Canon 904: "Remembering that the work of redemption is continually accomplished in the mystery of the Eucharistic Sacrifice, priests are to celebrate frequently; indeed daily celebration is strongly recommended, since even if the faithful cannot be present, it is the act of Christ and the Church in which priests fulfill their principle function."

	A CANON LAWYER LOOKSAT HOME SCHOOLING
		The Code of Canon Law has taken great care to protect parental primacy in seeing to the education of children, whether that parental right and duty is legitimately entrusted to others, or whether it is directly exercised by those who will most immediately answer to God for the raising of their children.
		What most impresses me as a Catholic parent and lawyer, however, is the level of ecclesiastical protection which the parental choice to home school enjoys under the laws of the Catholic Church.

		When lawyers speak of the common law, we mean that body of law that is derived from legal cases, understanding it in opposition to statutory law, which is created by properly constituted legislative bodies.
		These non-common law laws find some of their sources in Roman civil law-but this Roman civil law is composed, not only of statutory law, the decrees of the emperors, but also of legal opinions which were hypothetical and not based on specific cases.

		It was fortuitous that the Code of Canon Law had so many new statutes on rights and their vindication, because that meant that the canon lawyers were not much better prepared than we were to start accepting cases.
		If one is going to help people protect their rights, one should be a canon lawyer or at least have studied canon law and related disciplines on the graduate level.
		This meant that virtually all the canon lawyers in the United States had their hands full with other duties and, even though a few had the time and were favorably inclined to help us, it must be remembered that there is no separation of powers in the Church.

	St. Jos: Bruskewitz (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		Once we accept the reality that penalties have a legitimate—though we hope limited—function in the life of the Church, then we must define precisely what an ecclesiastical penalty is. In secular law, a penalty is the deprivation of life, liberty or property by proper authority, preceded by due process of law.
		Since canon law permits the establishment of other unnamed expiatory penalties by universal or local law, their number could be, at least in theory and in consideration of the endless variations in local circumstances, virtually limitless.
		What canon 1353 is saying is this: As we have seen, a ferendae sententiae penalty is imposed by judicial sentence or, in cases where the law permits, by administrative decree.

		On the contrary, its purpose is rather to create such an order in the ecclesial society that, while assigning the primacy love, grace, and charisms, it at the same time renders their organic development easier in the life of both the ecclesial society and the individual persons who belong to it."

		Three canon lawyers, one a retired bishop, say that the use of Canon IV.9, "Abandonment of Communion" against the sitting bishop of San Joaquin, John-David Schofield has no basis, describing it as "legal balderdash," and a "bullying tactic" by the four ultra-liberal California bishops.
		The fear is that the Dennis Canon, which applies to fleeing priests and parishes who wish to retain their properties could now apply to whole dioceses, and in the case of California state courts have so far ruled in favor of four fleeing orthodox parishes.
