Canon Law
Pope Leo XIV urges canon law students to seek supernatural good of persons
Pope Leo XIV told students and members of the Faculty of Canon Law at the Pontifical Gregorian University to pursue the supernatural good of persons through true justice. Speaking at an international congress marking the 150th anniversary of the faculty, the Pope said justice cannot be separated from truth and mercy.
The Pope stated that the study and application of Church law should aim for the spiritual good of the faithful and the unity of the ecclesial community. He said canon law plays an essential role in safeguarding communion in the Church. He advised that formation in this field should go beyond knowing the law to developing an ecclesial sense of what is just in light of the mystery of the Church.
During his address, the Pope noted that the faculty serves the papacy through its loyalty to Church teaching and service to the Holy See.
