Codification of law turns out to be an issue in church law too. Interesting parallels to whether codification might finally start making headway in common law jurisdictions as result of digital developments in
#LegislationAsCode. Might we see apps consuming/executing canon law?!?
Catholics don’t appreciate what a novel project the CODIFICATION of canon law was and still is. Hardly 5% of Church history has been spent under a CODE, this, after many centuries of using a basically ‘administrative / common law’ type system of canon law. Lots to figure out yet.
