| Summary: | The German canonist Hans Barion (1899-1973) distinguished three aspects in the relationship between theology and canon law, that of law as ancilla, as custos, and as illuminatrix of theology. This contribution applies these analytical keys to three areas dear to Pope Francis, namely, marriage procedures, the missionary parish, and sexual relations outside of canonical marriage. This leads to two conclusions, one on Barion’s theory, the other on the policies of Pope Francis. The analytical instrument developed by Hans Barion is shown to be very useful while requiring more nuance; and as the pontificate of Pope Francis progresses, he faces increasing difficulties in concretizing his theological ideas at the level of the normative system of canon law. Le canoniste allemand Hans Barion (1899-1973) distinguait trois aspects dans la relation entre la théologie et le droit canonique, celui du droit comme illuminatrix, comme et comme de la théologie. Cette contribution applique ses clés d’analyse à trois domaines chers au pape François, à savoir la procédure matrimoniale, la paroisse missionnaire et les relations sexuelles en dehors du mariage canonique. Ceci conduit à deux conclusions, l’une sur la théorie de Barion, l’autre sur la politique du pape François. L’instrument d’analyse développé par Hans Barion se révèle très utile tout en demandant davantage de nuance. Et le pape François éprouve, au fur et à mesure de son pontificat, des difficultés croissantes à concrétiser ses idées théologiques au niveau du système normatif du droit canon. |
