Canonization Law in Force

Summary/Abstract: The canonization law belongs to the branches most suitable to demonstrate the religious and metaphysical dimension of the legal system of the Catholic Church. Even this legal branch disposes of its own individual and complex history and its beginnings can be found in the 1st century after Christ in the cult of early Christian martyrs. From that time, not only theology, but also norms of particular canon law were gradually taking form, which dominated in this area practically until the High Middle Ages, when they were replaced by papal law. Historically modelled rules were successively taken into the canons of the first 1917 Code of Canon Law and were changed markedly according the postulates of the Second Vatican Council in the Codex in force. The main goal of this article is to point out the most important rules and institutions of beatification and canonization process according to the canonization law in force.
