    Canon Law & Order | "What is Canon Law and Why Should I Care?" (S1 E1)

    S1 E1: In this mini-series hosted by Father Will Banowsky, judicial vicar for the Archdiocese of Oklahoma City, Father Will explores the intricacies of Canon Law in the Catholic Church, as well as it's practical application and effects.  In this first episode, Father Will sits down with Father Jerome Krug to give a brief introduction to Canon Law and show why the Code of Canon Law exists to protect people, not police them. They connect the tribunal, parish life, money, ministry, and even freedom to the Church’s supreme goal: the salvation of souls.  • canon law as the Church’s structure for rights and responsibilities  • why Catholics remain bound to the Church after baptism  • how the code governs sacraments and who may receive them  • confirmation sponsor and baptism godparent requirements  • what a diocesan tribunal actually does and why it matters  • the judicial vicar role and delegated authority from the bishop  • how restricted donations are protected under temporal goods  • penalties and remedies aimed at reform and healing  • canon 1752 and salvation of souls as supreme law  • law as a path to freedom using the traffic law analogy  • Vatican II’s fruit reflected in the 1983 Code of Canon Law  • nihil obstat, Catholic teaching oversight, and marriage permissions  • the global Church structure including Eastern Catholic canon law  ************ Learn more about the Archdiocese of Oklahoma City online at archokc.org, and follow us on social media by searching "Archdiocese of Oklahoma City."
