The Seal of the Confessional and the Criminal Law of England and Wales Ecclesiastical Law Journal Pub Date : 2020-05-01 Christopher Grout
The seal of the confessional is often described as ‘inviolable’. The idea that what is said or done in furtherance of private confession may be subjected to scrutiny as part of litigation is often considered to be absurd. But what is the legal basis for such forthright rejection? The revised Canons of the Church of England do not address the issue at all; instead the matter falls to be covered by the

Coleridge was no exception, being a composite

Establishment: Some Theological Considerations Ecclesiastical Law Journal Pub Date : 2019-09-01 Malcolm Brown
Liberal modernity and its associated individualism have created conditions in which a case for an established Church appears to contradict all the principles of social diversity. But the characteristic mechanisms of liberal modernity for managing difference – the ballot and the market – have proved inadequate to prevent social divisions from deepening, as the national argument about Brexit demonstrates

Richard Hooker: Invention and Re-invention Ecclesiastical Law Journal Pub Date : 2019-04-12 Diarmaid MacCulloch

Gospel and Order in the Rule of St Benedict Ecclesiastical Law Journal Pub Date : 2019-02-04 Norman Boakes
Members of the Church of England are part of an ordered Church with a given liturgy. That order is deeply embedded in our story and today all clergy and lay ministers function and carry out their ministries on the authorisation of the bishop of the diocese. The Church of England is an institution which has its rules, laws and codes of conduct. Because we have no doctrinal formulations of our own, the

De minimis non curat lex: A Profound Juridical Unity? Ecclesiastical Law Journal Pub Date : 2018-08-23 Edward Morgan
In recent years, those involved in regulating, forming or advising faith communities have had much to contend with: the expansion of the vicarious liability doctrine, the status of ministers of religion and the decision in Shergill v Khaira, not to mention the General Data Protection Regulation. These issues share a common denominator: they require faith communities to give close consideration to the

The Use of the Term ‘Pastoral’ in the 1983 Code of Canon Law with Reference to the 1917 Code Ecclesiastical Law Journal Pub Date : 2018-05-01 James Campbell
This article compares the use of the term ‘pastoral’ in the canon law of the Western Latin Church as it occurred in the 1917 Pio-Benedictine Code of Canon Law and then in the revised Code of 1983. This is because the revised Code increased the use of the term ‘pastoral’ and I wish to see if its meaning had changed and, if so, in what way. Hence, the article considers how ‘pastoral’ occurred in the

Penal Law in the Roman Catholic Church Ecclesiastical Law Journal Pub Date : 2018-05-01 Rafael Domingo
This article provides a general account of the universal law of sanctions in the Roman Catholic Church. The crisis of the Catholic Church caused by clergy sexual abuse of minors has revealed, among other things, the widespread well-intentioned but naive inclination to resort to penal law as opposed to any theology of mercy and forgiveness. Although the author argues that penal law has a proper place

Clarifying the Definition of Religion Under English Law: The Need for a Universal Definition Ecclesiastical Law Journal Pub Date : 2018-05-01 Russell Sandberg

Marriage, Polygamy and the Criminal Law of Conspiracy Ecclesiastical Law Journal Pub Date : 2018-01-01 Christopher Grout
The fact that the criminal law in England and Wales continues to afford protection to spouses who conspire together to commit crime is considered by many to be an anachronism. That a person cannot be guilty of conspiracy if the only other person with whom he or she agrees is his or her spouse, is to be found in section 2 of the Criminal Law Act 1977. The origins of the rule are said to be based on

From Gospel to Law: The Lutheran Reformation and Its Impact on Legal Culture Ecclesiastical Law Journal Pub Date : 2017-08-31 John Witte
The Lutheran Reformation transformed not only theology and the church, but also law and the state. Despite Luther’s burning of the canon law books and his berating of lawyers as bad Christians, he soon realized that he needed both law and the legal profession to preserve his theological reforms, and to extend them into the realms of marriage, education, social welfare and more. Luther and his colleagues

Balancing Dignity, Equality and Religious Freedom: A Transnational Topic Ecclesiastical Law Journal Pub Date : 2017-08-31 Andrea Pin
The concept of dignity has made its way into contemporary discourse on rights after having taken a winding road which intersected secular thinking with religious thinking. Its pervasive utilisation by courts shows its richness as well as its amorphousness. An enquiry into comparative law suggests that the concept of dignity, especially when it is associated with the idea of equality, creates tensions

The Coronation Oath Ecclesiastical Law Journal Pub Date : 2017-08-31 Graeme Watt
The oath taken by British sovereigns at their coronations is laid down by a statute dating from 1688. Any oath taken other than in accordance with the correct statutory form is contrary to law.

The English Canon Law Relating to Suicide Victims Ecclesiastical Law Journal Pub Date : 2017-05-01 Charlotte L Wright
Society has historically viewed suicide with hostility and fear. For centuries this hostility was reflected in the English civil law, which condemned suicide as homicide, and in the Church's position towards suicide victims, which historically considered suicide to be a mortal sin. Under the current canon law, set out in Canon B 38, it is the duty of the minister to bury all parishioners, those who

Assessing the Risk Ecclesiastical Law Journal Pub Date : 2016-08-08 Nicholas Coulton
While the English Church shared in celebrating the 800th anniversary of Magna Carta, not least its own part in gaining those rights for everyone, the Church of England was reversing the principle that people are innocent until proved guilty. Such is the pressure of today's concern about child abuse, historic and present. As evidence mounts of the injustices done by false accusations against some high-profile

How Relevant to the United Kingdom are the ‘Religious’ Cases of the US Supreme Court? Ecclesiastical Law Journal Pub Date : 2016-08-08 Frank Cranmer
High-profile cases in the Supreme Court of the United States (‘SCOTUS’) on religion tend to attract a certain amount of academic comment in the United Kingdom but US judgments are cited only infrequently by the superior courts in the UK. In return, SCOTUS rarely cites foreign judgments at all. The reason, it is suggested, is that the effect given by the First Amendment to the US Constitution is to

The Failure of Legal Pluralism Ecclesiastical Law Journal Pub Date : 2016-04-15 Russell Sandberg
Concerns about legal pluralism, the co-existence of more than one legal system within a state, have become pronounced in recent years, owing to fears about the operation of sharia law in Western societies. At the same time, the concept of legal pluralism has become ubiquitous within legal literature. Paradoxically, the concept is both politically controversial and academically banal.
