Drábiková, Nina ; Tretera, Jiří Rajmund (advisor) ; Horák, Záboj (referee)
Changes in canon law from the Second Vatican Council to the present Abstract This thesis deals with the development of the canon law of the Catholic Church from the beginning of the Second Vatican Council to the present day, that is, from 1962. The aim of the thesis is to give an overview of the most significant amendments in the field of canon law in the period covered. During this period, six popes (including John Paul I, whose pontificate lasted only thirty-three days) succeeded at the head of the Catholic Church. The first chapter of the thesis studies canon law as a legal discipline in the context of secular law. The second chapter deals with the period of the Second Vatican Council, its convocation, and its successive four sessions. During the Council, the death of Pope John XXIII occurred. He was succeeded by Pope Paul VI, who immediately expressed his willingness to proceed with the Council and presided over the Council from the second session onwards. In particular, the individual subchapters analyse the sixteen documents issued by the Council during the sessions, which became the ideological basis for the subsequent changes in canon law. The third chapter examines the legislative changes in canon law between the end of the Second Vatican Council and the publication of the new Code of Canon Law....

Initiation sacraments in canonical and liturgical law
BENEŠOVÁ, Marie
The Church sanctifies the world primarily by celebrating the liturgy and administering the sacraments. In the Catholic Church, we distinguish seven sacraments instituted by Jesus Christ. The thesis discusses the so-called initiation sacraments, baptism, confirmation and the Eucharist. Their acceptance is required in the case of repeated reception of the Eucharist for full initiation into the Christian life. The most sublime Eucharist is the source and at the same time the peak of all our actions. The thesis refers to both the biblical/historical roots and particularly to the current canonical and liturgical practice of administering initiation sacraments from the point of view of the canon law of the Latin Church (CIC/1983), the canon law of the churches of the Eastern Rite sui iuris (CCEO), official liturgical books (e.g., General Instruction of the Roman Missal) and other documents of the magisterium and relevant church authority concerning the liturgy.

Confessor´s Powers and Authorization
POLÍVKA, Šimon
The forgiveness of sins and reconciliation with God are fruits of Christ?s work of redemption. The confessor gives absolution in the person and power of Christ Himself, which means appropriating the effects of Christ?s redemptive sacrifice to individual faithful. That?s why the confessor must be bearer of sacramental priesthood in priestly or bishop?s degree, and the authorization by the Church to administer the sacrament of reconciliation is also necessary for his service. The confessor is authorized to pardon a latae sententiae reformatory punishment not yet officially declared. This power belongs to bishops by virtue of the holy orders received, and to canon penitentiary or chaplain by virtue of their office. Any priest is entitled to pardon a reformatory punishment in emergency, i.e. in a situation where it is hard for the penitent to remain in the state of grave sin until the competent superior pardons the punishment. The confessor?s powers also include the authorization to grant dispensation from secret impediments to marriage resulting from canon law, as well as from irregularities or impediments to exercise power of the holy orders. The confessor?s powers are based on the salus animarum suprema lex principle, which corresponds to the confessor?s mission of forgiving sins in the person of Christ (in persona Christi), thus accomplishing Christ?s work of redemption in individual faithful.

Nejdl, Oldřich ; Horák, Záboj (advisor) ; Tretera, Jiří Rajmund (referee)
A superior in the Catholic Church at times needs the consent or counsel of certain consultative body in order to place a juridic act validly. Legal status of such colleges or groups of persons is regulated by the Code of Canon Law (CIC/1983) and by the statutes approved by the diocesan bishops. This thesis inquires into legal status of the consultative bodies in Roman Catholic diocesis, vicariates and parishes in Czech Lands. Within the diocese the presbyteral council, the college of consultors and the diocesan finance council are required, establishment of the diocesan pastoral council is optional. Mission of the presbyteral council is to assist the diocesan bishop in the governance of the diocese to promote as much as possible the pastoral good of the portion of the people of God entrusted to him. The diocesan bishop is to hear it in affairs of greater importance. Consultation of the presbyteral council is compulsory for example in case of establishment, or supression of parishes, decision to build new church or relegation of a church to profane use. The diocesan bishop needs the consent of the college of consultors especially to place acts of extraordinary administration or to alienate some goods. If the see is impeded, the college is to elect a diocesan administrator. The diocesan finance...
