An
additional on-line resource is the
Code of Canon Law
(ourladyswarriors.org/canon/index.html)
which comprehensively addresses matters of unity and
obedience
to the norms of the Universal Catholic Church.
"The Code of Canon Law is absolutely necessary for the Church.
Since the Church is established in the form of a social and visible unit, it
needs rules, so that its hierarchical and organic structure may be visible;
that its exercise of the functions divinely entrusted to it, particularly of
sacred power and of the administration of the sacraments, is properly ordered;
that the mutual relationships of Christ's faithful are reconciled in justice
based on charity, with the rights of each safeguarded and defined; and lastly,
that the common initiatives which are undertaken so that Christian life may be
ever more perfectly carried out, are supported strengthened and promoted by
canonical laws."
