| Summary: | Some canonists have forged the term norma missionis to highlight the fact that Church mission is the foundation of the essential dynamic that gives life to the law of the Church and animates its ability to respond to the needs of the times. This essay will review the place of 'mission' in the life and history of the Church, discuss the ecclesiological premises of the term norma missionis, provide a brief history of its development and, by examining its practical implications for certain key canonical norms, demonstrate why mission must be the necessary foundation and core of canon law. Certains canonistes ont forgé le terme norma missionis pour souligner le fait que la mission de l’Église est le fondement de la dynamique essentielle qui donne vie au droit de l’Église et anime sa capacité à répondre aux besoins de son temps. Cet essai examinera la place de la 'mission' dans la vie et l’histoire de l’Église, discutera des prémisses ecclésiologiques du terme norma missionis, fournira un bref historique de son développement et, en examinant ses implications pratiques pour certaines normes canoniques clés, démontrera pourquoi la mission doit être le fondement et le noyau nécessaires du droit canonique. |
