| Summary: | The theme of the article is to present the relationship between canon law and the pastoral activity of the Catholic Church. The author cites a number of statements made by popes: John Paul II, Benedict XVI and Francis, on the subject, contained in doctrinal documents, speeches to employees of the Tribunal of the Roman Rota, and other bodies, as well as on other occasions. Quoted statements lead to a clear conclusion: the law in the Church only makes sense in the pastoral context, that is, both of these aspects of the activity of the Church have a common goal: the salvation of souls, which must always be the supreme law. |
