Following changes in law that have taken place even in the last years of the Church's existence one certainly cannot say that it is fossilized. On one hand it listens to the needs, problems and life of the community of Faithful and on the other to the Revelation. It takes into account the achievements and development of theological, biblical, patristic and anthropological science. It is constantly changing.Are these changes well enough characterized by the term "renewal"?Given the nature of canon law as well as the objectives pursued by the Legislator in correcting/changing the law it seems that we can say that in most cases the Legislator changing the law also renewed it.The Church as the Legislator always has its eyes on Jesus and the Revelation that he gave to the Church. It is no wonder that all changes in the law are directly or indirectly guided by one main goal which is the salvation of man. This principle is superior in canon law to this day. Revelation is the foundation of the law and a framework of all the changes taking place in it.As the community of the Church is subjected to historical determinants therefore the law governing community life of the Church is also a subject of historical determinants.Readiness to take into account progress and changes in theological, anthropological, biblical, patristic and legal sciences shows that the Legislator is not only changing the law but also renews it.

Wychodząc z „ewangelickiej” perspektywy teologii reformacji angielskiej artykuł ten odnosi się z uznaniem do teologii prawa zawartej w encyklice Veritatis splendor, w jej implikacjach dla zrozumienia prawa publicznego. Podkreśla zwłaszcza trzy aspekty encykliki: (1) ujęcie prawa jako wewnętrznego wymiaru dynamicznego objawienia się Boga w Jezusie Chrystusie jako Prawdy i Dobra, który zobowiązuje ludzi jako sprawców działania moralnego oraz jest podstawą ich wolności; (2) ukazanie tendencji obecnych we współczesnej filozofii i teologii moralnej, które oderwały prawo i wolność stworzonej i upadłej wspólnoty ludzkiej od historii ich odnowy i udoskonalenia, czemu świadectwo daje Pismo Święte; (3) ukazanie Kościoła jako wspólnoty wiary i uczniów, której Chrystus powierzył objawienie jedności Bożej obietnicy i prawa oraz przekazał Ducha Prawdy i Świętości. Uwydatniając te aspekty, artykuł zwraca również uwagę na słabo rozwinięte zagadnienie prawa jako objawienia Bożego wyroku potępiającego grzesznych ludzi jako sprawców, tak na wewnętrznym forum sumienia, jak i na społecznym forum prawa publicznego. Wskazuje także na pokrewną kwestię Kościoła, który daje świadectwo o zmartwychwstałym Chrystusie przezwyciężającym potępienie płynące z prawa.

From the ‘evangelical’perspective of English Reformation theology, this article considers appreciatively the theology of law in Veritatis Splendor in its implications for understanding public law. It highlights three features of the encyclical: 1. its unfolding of law as an intrinsic dimension of God's dynamic revelation of himself in Jesus Christ as the Truth and the Good who obliges human beings as actors and grounds their freedom; 2. its exposing of tendencies in contemporary moral philosophy and theology which have severed the law and freedom of created and fallen human community from the history of their perfecting renewal witnessed in the Scriptures; 3. its portrayal of the church as the community of faith and discipleship, to whom Christ has entrusted the `showing forth' of God's promise and law in their unity, and imparted the Spirit of Truth and Holiness. In highlighting these features, the article also draws attention to the under-developed theme of law as the revelation of God's condemning judgment on sinful human actors, both in the internal forum of the conscience and the social forum of public law, and the corresponding theme of the church's witness to the risen Christ's overcoming of the law's condemnation.
