Summary/Abstract: In the presented study, the subject of the author’s attention was the issue of the reasons for changes in the canons in the area of the 1st Book General Norms and the material marriage law of the Code of Canon Law introduced under the motu proprio De concordia inter Codices. By analyzing the content of the motu proprio he showed that the first reason was the desire to fill in the legal loopholes appearing in the Code of Canon Law with reference to the Code of Canons of the Eastern Churches of 1990. As the second reason he recognized the migration process of the modern population, including the faithful who belong to the Eastern Catholic Churches. In his opinion, the legislator, through making clear and good law, wanted to make it easier for them to adapt to the new and often difficult reality.
