Western Roman Empire Civil Tier 8

Canonical Law

His word literally is the law.

The advent of Christianity in Europe brought with it the rise of the Church as an institution, and with that the need for a proper, codified system of laws. 'Canonical' law is based on the 'Apostolic Canons', a collection of edicts supposedly set down by the Twelve Apostles (though this is widely contested). The law focused the governing of the church on directing the activity of Catholics and propagating the message of Christianity. It is divided into historiographical eras - the 'jus antiquum' being the earliest, being codified following Emperor Constantine’s Edict of Milan, which accepted Christians as part of the Empire and, moreover, decreed that all wrongs done to them be righted as much as possible. Much later, when Christianity had become the central European religion, canonical law not only dictated the Church’s internal administration, but also ecclesiastical jurisdiction, becoming the basis for much of the region’s secular government.
