Codex Iuris Canonici
Overview
The 1917 Pio-Benedictine Code of Canon Law of the Catholic Church is the completely developed legal system for the Catholic Church and the Vatican, which was in effect from 1917 until 1983. After the First Vatican Council, Pope Pius X and his clergy began collecting and canonizing the ancient collections of canon laws, which included Pope Gregory IX’s Liber Extra from 1234, Pope Boniface VIII’s Liber Sextus from 1298, and Pope John XII’s Clementines from 1317. Pope Pius X and his clergy synthesized these documents into a single systematic canonical code, which became the Codex Iuris Canonici, or, the 1917 Code of Canon Law. In 1918, the code came into effect under Pope Benedict XV. The 1917 Code of Canon Law was replaced in 1983 when Pope John XXIII and Pope John Paul II brought the 1983 Canon Laws out of the Second Vatican Council, laws which are still in use today. This is the original Codex in its original Latin.
