Annotations on CLSA Advisory Opinions

 

The Canon Law Society of America publishes advisory opinions on a wide variety of canonical topics. These materials are of great value to practitioners and scholars of canon law, and annotations thereon facilitate researcher's use of such materials.

 


Background

Advisory opinions, a canonical genre similar to the "casus conscientiae" of the moral theologians, are a staple of codified canon law. These short works, usually responding to a narrow set of facts (whether hypothetical or based on actual situations), guide the concrete application of law to life and contribute to the development of canonistics. Advisory opinions and other published consultations are unofficial (no matter who wrote them) and boast only the persuasive authority of the arguments made therein. Advisory opinions sometimes differ with one another. Such disagreement is the stuff of which legal argument is made and contributes to the process by which law matures.

 

Since 1984 the CLSA has published advisory opinions, mostly on Roman but increasingly on Eastern, canon law in its annual Roman Replies and CLSA Advisory Opinions. These opinions are then gathered, decennially or quinquenially as circumstances suggest, and republished, sometimes in a slightly edited form. Three such volumes (1984-1993, 1994-2000, and 2001-2005) have been released to date.

 

From 1983-1985, CLSA advisory opinions also appeared in The Jurist. These materials appeared virtually identically in the annual series so are not re-referenced here. A few advisory opinions appeared in other publications (e.g., RRAO 2015: 96).

 

User notes

Canons in green highlight have been expressly treated in one or more advisory opinions. Canons listed as "Also:" were, in my opinion, more-than-passingly mentioned while treating the main topic(s) of the advisory opinion; sometimes, these canons are not expressly cited, but are, in my view, nevertheless discussed. Searching for canons (in four digits) is advisable because some canons are discussed that are not primarily treated in various opinions.

 

Each citation to an advisory opinion is followed by a concise summary of the opinion based on the version of the opinion as it appeared in the annual volume, and not on a later version from which might vary slightly. I strove for accuracy in these summaries, of course, but original authors might not agree with my characterization of their views. I disagree with some of the conclusions annotated below.

 

Citations are given to the page on which the advisory opinion itself starts and not necessarily to the page on which the question is posed. Occasional opinions sharing the same page are sub-designated [a] and [b] respectively. Obvious typos (see, e.g., RRAO 1986: 54) are ignored.

 

Annotations on advisory opinions dealing with Eastern law, some of which apply equally to Western, appear separately, here. Information on collected Pio-Benedictine advisory opinions is available here.
