The Influence of the Second Vatican Council on Book V of the Code of Canon Law (1983) about Temporal Goods of the Church

Katolička crkva u praksu je primijenila, odnosno praktički je konkretizirala II. vatikanski sabor, obnovivši svoje zakonodavstvo: Latinske crkve (kan, 1) i Istočnih crkava. Ta nas je činjenica potakla da obradimo: koliki je utjecaj II. vatikanski sabor izvršio na V. knjigu Zakonika iz 1983. Sabori su, naime, kroz povijest Crkve mnogo utjecali na Crkveno zakonodavstvo, ali ne toliko koliko je to učinio II. vatikanski sabor. Sabor je obnovio lice Crkve, također i kada je riječ o Crkvenim vremenitim dobrima. To se najviše osjeća u davanju prednosti službi nad nadarbinom, tako se praktički napušta nadarbinski sustav, a umjesto njega uvode se razne ustanove na razini pojedinih Crkvenih struktura kao što su biskupske konferencije, dijeceze i župe. Uvode se razna ekonomska vijeća i zahtijeva se pomoć ekonomskih stručnjaka. Nakon II. vatikanskog sabora, osnivaju se zajedničke blagajne, zajednički fondovi, naglašava se socijalna skrb, središnji fond, solidarnost, itd. Radi toga smo u ovom radu obradili recepciju Sabora u V. knjizi Zakonika kanonskoga prava iz 1983. pod naslovom »Vremenita Crkvena dobra« (De bonis Ecclesiae temporalibus), kan. 1254-1310. Nakon uvoda, obradili smo: l. Prirođeno pravo i sloboda Katoličke crkve da stječe, posjeduje, otuđuje i upravlja Crkvenim vremenitim dobrima; 2. Napuštanje nadarbinskog sustava i njegovo preuređenje; 3. Karitativno služenje Crkve; 4. Ekonomska solidarnost biskupa u biskupskom kolegiju; 5. Pravično uzdržavanje klera i drugih Crkvenih službenika.In this paper the author presents the implementation of the Second Vatican Council and its principles in the Catholic Church, by having renewed its legislature about »The temporal goods of the Church« in Book V of the 1983 Code of Canon Law for the Latin Church. Council\u27s principles, decisions and recommendations had enormous influence on ecclesiology that influenced on Church\u27s legislature, on Book V of the 1983 Code of Canon Law under the title »Temporal Goods of the Church« (cann. 1254-1310). The Second Vatican Council influenced most on the reform of beneficiary system and on giving priority to office before beneficiaries, what has not been the case through Church\u27s history. After the Second Vatican Council there have been introduced new structures, such as: economic councils, joint treasure, joint fund, social care, central fund and parish fund. After introduction, the author presents: 1) The inherent right and freedom of the Catholic Church to acquire, retain, administer and alienate temporal goods of the Church; 2) The withdrawal from beneficiary system and its rearrangement; 3) Charitable works of the Church; 4) The financial solidarity of bishops in college of bishops; 5) Just support of clergy and other Church\u27s employees. On the basis of discussions the author concludes that the Second Vatican Council, after the Code of Canon Law of 1917, had huge influence on Church\u27s legislature on temporal goods of the Church, and also he points out that the Catholic Church and its juridical persons have the inherent right to acquire, retain, administer and alienate temporal goods of the Church in order to achieve the objectives which are proper to the Catholic Church according to Second Vatican Council and the Code of Canon Law of 1983
