Przestępstwa przeciwko życiu i wolności w Kodeksie Prawa Kanonicznego 1983 r.

Abstract

This article discusses the notion of crimes against human life and freedom basing on the norms of universal canon law. The codex legislator described the concepts of crime and criminal sanctions in a precise manner, and also listed the fundamental crimes putting a man’s life, health, and freedom in harm’s way. The provisions in force of the Code of Canon Law promulgated in 1983, containing a renewed look at the issue of criminal sanctions in the Church, were analysed and interpreted.
