@Highway2Heaven2@poperespecter1 This is quite literally how the Church is and has always been governed.
The office of the Papacy literally means the Pope has absolute power over the Church as he is the Vicar of Christ who can bind and loose both on earth and in heaven.
@RyanLEllis@poperespecter1 The Church is not a western liberal democracy.
The Pope quite literally is above the Code of Canon Law. He promulgates it, by his authority is it binding. But he himself is not bound to it and can abrogate any rule or reverse any ruling
@InPaceViribus@poperespecter1 The code of canon law is quite literally the ecclesiastical law of the Church.
Some of the canons are based in divine law but these are the vast minority. And even in these cases the actual applications of the principles divine law within the code can be changed.
@MoonshinerMonk@poperespecter1 The Pope is not subject to canon law because the Church does not have the "rule of law" or "separation of powers". The Pope quite literally is above canon law. The pope can abrogate any rule, overturn any ruling, and is himself not subject to it.
Trads getting mad because the papacy isn't...... a liberal constitutional monarchy???
The concept of "the rule of law" literally does not exist in the Church, there are no separation of powers. Canon law serves the Pope not the other way around.
The pope is above canon law. He can literally change it. He also is the final judge on interpreting it.
Citing canon law in order to rebel against the pope is nonsense.
