Natural law has long been considered the traditional source of
Roman Catholic canon law. However, new scholarship is critical of
this approach as it portrays the Catholic Church as static,
ahistorical, and insensitive to cultural change. In its attempt to
stem the massive loss of effectiveness being experienced by canon
law, the church has to reconsider its theory of legal foundation,
especially its natural law theory. Church Law in Modernity analyses
the criticism levelled at the church and puts forward solutions for
reconciling church law with modernity by revealing the historical
and cultural authenticity of all law, and revising the processes of
law making. In a modern church, there is no way of thinking of the
law without the participation of the faithful in legislation.
Judith Hahn therefore proposes a reformed legislative process for
the church in the hope of reconciling the natural law origins of
church law with a new, modern theology.
