| Summary: | The work is a comparative study of CIC and CCEO on the role of the laity in the diocesan curia. Though a diocese is entrusted to a diocesan bishop for pastoral governance, he does not fulfil his pastoral functions alone; he does it mainly with the help oh his curia. The diocesan curia can be composed of clerics alone or a combination of clerics and lay persons together. The lay persons habe been given much involvement in the Church after the Second Vatican Council. The council taught that on receiving baptism, lay persons participate in the priestly, prophetic and kingly functions of Christ (cf. LG 32). Today, lay people are involved in the admnistration of the Church, both at the universal and at the diocesan level; thus, their role in the Church is also emphasized. They can function in many offices in the diocesan curia. Traditionally, clerics are appointed in the diocesan curia. However, now lay people, who are outstanding in the requisite knowledge, prudence and integrity, can be appointed in the diocesan curia. While the Latin Code permits a lay person to hold chancellor's office (in the Eastern Churches, the chancellor must be a cleric), both the codes allow the laity to function as finance officer, members of the finance council, judge, defender of the bond, promoter of justice, notaries, etc. |
