[Mrs. Don-o]

You are again disputing something I did not say.

I did not say Moral Law and Canon Law are unrelated. I said they are not identical.

For instance: consider ecclesiastical property laws. These are related to and influenced by, but not the same as, secular laws relating to bequest, fiduciary trust, the extent of obligations to the common good which override private ownership, accountability, the suitability of using sacred spaces (e.g. the chancel) for secular purposes (e.g. a concert), etc., etc., and etc.

Much of this is not explicitly spelled out in the Ten Commandments, but is the result of reflection on many different circumstances and contexts.

Some of it can change as circumstances change.

If you're actually interested, you could look at this: Moral Theology and Canon Law.

I must say *I* am not particularly interested. Meh. Most of it has nothing to do with me, personally

Analogy: it's like a Homeowners Association or a POA: if I don't even own property, I have no direct interest in becoming an expert on the CCR's and By-Laws of a residential subdivision.

It doesn't relate to me. It's not my job.

Thanks be to God.

Ya’ll need to get your act together on this stuff. Rome has so many conflicting writings there is no way the average Roman Catholic can keep up with what’s what.
