MEJIA A, IVÁN FEDERICO. THEOLOGY OF CANONS IN CATHOLIC UNIVERSITIES?. Theol. Xave. [online]. 2010, vol.60, n.169, pp.133-157. ISSN 0120-3649.

Is it useful today, or necessary, an interpretation of the Code of Canon Law from Christology? The article examines some opposition which consider as inappropriate to search for foundations or links from "outside" the Code itself and the normal legislative living tradition of the Catholic Church. The Second Vatican Council and Pope John Paul II sponsored a theological interpretation of the Code, and this article summarizes some features of the validation, method, and the successful application of an interdisciplinary "hermeneutic model" of the Theology of the Canon Law (Christology, anthropological co-references, moral theology, and the process of production and implementation of the Canons) in Catholic universities.

Keywords : Theology; Canon Law; Hermeneutic Model.
