The word "interest" was defined by the Latin word usura from Classical Times. Even canon law, which rejected the charging of interest on the basis of the arguments of mora-legal rules contained in the writings of the Old and New Testament and their interpretations in the works of the Church Fathers, used this substantive from the beginning. In this account usura, in the sense of taking more than was initially lent when applying the institution of a loan, was forbidden. This was the reason for criticizing and blaming the Catholic Church for its reaction and for slowing down economic development, namely not only on the part of economic theorists. Several researchers state, however, that this prohibition was not consistently enforced by the ecclesiastical courts, discussing actually a dead letter in this case. The main goal of this article is to point out the enforcement of the prohibition of the charging of interest by means of rules of Medieval canon law.

The contribution of medieval canon lawyers regarding to the development of the legal bases of contemporary constitutional thinking is analyzed in three areas: 1) Origin and development of the principle of sovereignty, from the concepts of jurisdictio and potestas. Papal sovereignty and its limits, from the doctrine of plenitudo potestatis. 2) Relationship between individual and collegiate power from the legal abstractions of universitas and persona representata. 3) Their contribution to the consensus theory of power and doctrinal development of the concept congregatio fidelium.

La soberanía papal y sus límites, a partir de la construcción de la plenitudo potestatis. 2) La relación entre el poder unipersonal y colegial a partir de la abstracción jurídica de la universitas y de la persona representata. 3) Su aportación a la teoría consensual del poder y la construcción doctrinal de la noción de congregatio fidelium.
