You’re beating a dead horse. This new thing introduced in 1917, Canon Law as we are referring to it, is actually pretty much the will and whim of the Pope in terms of how he wants things run. He can change any part, rewrite the whole thing, discard whatever he doesn’t like or add stuff. I believe he is supposed to listen to whatever groups of Bishops or other persons as may have standing or interest. But he doesn’t have to do what they want, he does whatever he pleases.
