Summary
Brilliantly taught and filled with helpful, real-world examples, this survey course was designed with your practical canon law questions in mind.
You are invited to join one of America's leading canon law experts, Father Arthur J. Espelage, O.F.M., J.C.D., in exploring the principles and rules that govern our religious conduct.
In 12 masterful audio lectures that cover 2,000 years of church laws, you’ll see how religion and the lives of all Catholics are intertwined in spiritual, practical, cultural, and historical ways. As you do so, you’ll come to understand the meaning of Jesus' teaching that "the Sabbath law was made for humankind, and not humankind for the Sabbath" (Mark 2:27).
In this course, you'll explore the sources of canon law - sacred Scripture, theology, and tradition - before looking at how these laws permeate the Seven Sacraments, church membership, and ecumenical councils. In the process, you’ll gain deep insights into how religious rules affect the lives of lay Catholics and clergy.
By studying these laws, you will come to understand how embracing religious belief and practices is essential for a new evangelization based in truth and mercy. This course is an essential examination of a vitally important but often misunderstood topic in the Catholic faith.
Don't miss this opportunity to enrich your understanding of this fascinating subject.
This course is part of the Learn25 collection and includes a free PDF study guide.

"Father Espelage is well known and admired, not only for his canonical expertise and experience, but also for his unfailing attitude of service to others and concern for them, qualities which should mark any canonist. Anything he prepares is worthy of study and appreciation." (Francis G. Morrisey, OMI, faculty of canon law, St. Paul University)
“Fr. Art has many years’ experience as a practitioner of canon law as well as teaching it. He speaks with enthusiasm as well as knowledge in a way that encourages his readers and listeners to want to explore further.” (Mgr. Gordon Read, president of the Canon Law Society of Great Britain and Ireland)
"I have known Fr. Art Espelage for the better part of 20 years. His very clear knowledge and understanding of Canon Law is born not only from a study of the canonical texts but from many years of experience, seeking to apply the principles in a wide variety of pastoral circumstances." (Aidan McGrath, OFM, secretary general of the Order of Friars Minor)
