Prawo kościelne a współczesne prądy kulturowe

Changes made over the centuries in ecclesiastical law are usually forced through the changing world, through cultural trends. A church living in a society is somewhat doomed to the review of its law and its updating. The critical point is the changing moral and social norms in societies that are very often against the norms of church law. Nevertheless, from the very beginning of the Churchʼs existence, he has the main goal: Salus animarum suprema lex, Jesus Christ is the only Savior of all mankind and the highest law is the salvation of man. The world is moving forward and changing its laws and the Church goes ahead without changing her main goal, but takes into account the existing conditions, hence we see changes in church law. Changes in church law, however, must be perceived as a response to the needs of time, but they are never changes that would in any way affect the implementation of the Church’s salvific mission.
