The theology of matrimonial law in speeches of Benedict XVI to the tribunal of the roman rota
Main Article Content
Abstract
The speech of the Pope to the Roman Rota opens every year the work of this Apostolic Tribunal and is awaited with anticipation by those involved in the judicial action of the Church, becoming a reference for all ecclesiastical tribunals. Benedict XVI reflects on family in the legal perspective, but he bases his thinking in theology and philosophy with opening for anthropology. Divided into three groups, the article aims to expose the thought of Benedict XVI on the action of the tribunals and the direct contribution they have on the theology of marriage He considers the question of canonical hermeneutics in the same line of theological reflection on hermeneutics continuity that marked the Vatican II Council and recognizes the family as a divine and inscribed in human nature institution. The methodology used was direct contact with the texts published in the weekly newsletter of the Holy See and the completion of the work is that Benedict XVI elaborates a theology of matrimonial law open to dialogue, to the challenges of today's culture, rooted in human nature and in the sacrament.
