| Summary: | Unlike the modern constitutional theory of the separation of governing powers, Canon Law operates with a threefold expression of the one power of governance (potestas regiminis). In the Code of 1983, this principle is enshrined in canon 135, which also provides the basic parameters for the exercise of legislative, executive, and judicial power in the life of the Church. This article seeks to present this threefold expression through a study of the canon and its sources; the three concrete expressions (legislative, executive, and judicial power); as well as discussing the similarities and differences between the three. À la différence de la doctrine constitutionnelle moderne de séparation des trois pouvoirs de gouvernement, le droit canonique opère dans le cadre d’une triple expression d’un seul et même pouvoir de gouvernement. Dans le Code de 1983, ce principe est enchâssé dans le canon 135, lequel définit également les paramètres fondamentaux de l’exercice du pouvoir législatif, exécutif et judiciaire dans la vie de l’Église. Le présent article se propose de considérer la triple expression du pouvoir en question au moyen d’une étude de ce canon, de ses sources et des trois expressions concrètes des pouvoirs (pouvoir législatif, exécutif et judiciaire), ainsi que d’une discussion des ressemblances et des différences entre ces dernières. |
