Abstract

The article is an analysis of the specifics of system in canon law. The author proves (based on the history of western canon law), that system of canon law cannot be assessed with the criteria applicable to secular law. Systematized secular law is a system of the secu­lar law per se, while the system of canon law is a legal expression of systematized theology.
