- Regarding whether the Major Superiors of Clerical Religious Institutes of Pontifical Right Can Establish Autonomous Pious Foundations(Servicio de Publicaciones de la Universidad de Navarra, 2018) Ganarin, M. (Manuel); Boni, G. (Geraldina)The paper examines various aspects of a quaestio iuris of current pressing concern among canonists, regarding whether the major superiors of clerical religious institutes of pontifical right may set up autonomous pious foundations of a public or private canonical, legal nature. The purpose of this paper is to offer a solution to this matter, on the basis of the universal and particular laws in force, the general criteria that shape their interpretation and the practice of canon law.
- Il diritto di denunciare la mancanza di idoneità dei titolari degli uffici ecclesiastici(Servicio de Publicaciones de la Universidad de Navarra, 2019) Boni, G. (Geraldina)Given further legal formalization of the diaconal nature of ecclesiastical governance and to consolidate the right of the ecclesial community to good governance, this study sets out from a de iure condendo perspective the explicit recognition of the right and duty of all Catholic people to play an active role in ‘denouncing’ the lack of suitability of holders of ecclesiastical office: either in the stage prior to appointment, by intervening in the administrative phase of the nomination process, or more importantly after the appointment has been made, should there be any incongruity between the office-holder and the post. The legal context to such a claim is complex and a large number of juridical aspects of canon law have been studied in order to address it; the issue is a challenging one but it can no longer be deferred.
- Algunas reflexiones sobre el anhelado y laborioso connubio entre la ciencia canónica y la ciencia teológica(Servicio de Publicaciones de la Universidad de Navarra, 2021) Boni, G. (Geraldina)The context of this article is the «multidisciplinary discussion concerning canon law» promoted by the journal, Ius Canonicum. The proposed epistemological renewal of the field, aimed at developing “interdisciplinary canon law” through the fruitful re-establishment of relationships between canon lawyers and theologians, as well as with experts in other academic areas, and – last but not least – with scholars in civil law, is a valid and valuable one. However, in light of certain methodological limitations in the post-Conciliar period, on the one hand, and – even today – imprudent subordination to state laws, on the other, some risks that should not be underestimated are also addressed. What emerges, therefore, is that canon law and canon law studies must wholly reassert their mature identity and irreplaceable role in today’s Church: in order to do so, they should overcome the current “crisis” and regain confidence, credibility and authority.
