YPC 8301: Sacramental Canon Law

This course offers a critical study of the Teaching and Sanctifying Office of the Church (with the exclusion of the Sacrament of Marriage) as delineated by Books III and IV of the Code of Canon Law with a particular eye to the practical implications of these canons with regard to pastoral ministry. Students will be taught the technical aspects of the Code of Canon Law and then classroom discussion will be used to teach how the canons of the Code can be used resolved pastoral situations.
