Más información sobre el libro

The book offers a thorough analysis of concordats, the treaties between the Vatican and various states from 1865 to 2022, exploring their relationship with canon and international law. It identifies 167 treaties and examines how the status of Roman Catholic canon law influences the ecclesiological norms of each concordat. Through case studies involving different political contexts, it reveals how these agreements reflect the Church's institutional role versus its adherence to values. The work contributes significantly to understanding the Catholic Church's international legal relations.
