| Summary: | The year 2014 marks the tenth anniversary of the death of Father Ivan Žužek, S.J., who as secretary of the Pontifical Commission for the redaction of the new Eastern code (1990) was really its architect. He died on 31st Janurary 2004. This study is dedicated to his memory. It deals with a problem of terminology, which the commission inherited from tradition, which the Second Vatican Council left unresolved: "rite", which had long been in use to refer not only to the Eastern Catholic Churches and the Latin Church but also to their specific heritage in liturgy, theology, spirituality and canonical discipline. A preliminary spadework of the code commission was to bring about the needed clarity. From that effort emerged a new term Churches sui iuris. The present study reviews this process and looks critically at this new term at a time when the fiftieth anniversary of the promulgation of the conciliar decree "Ecclesiarum Orientalium" is being celebrated. |
