In this book, Judith Hahn explores the legal order of the Roman Catholic Church to better understand how the Roman Catholic Church communicates as a legal institution. She argues that the language of canon law reveals the political ideology of the church hierarchy, and she takes up the tools of language and law scholarship to examine and challenge that language. Hahn examines the grammar and terminology of canon law, and how canon law language makes use of linguistic tricks and techniques to create its typical sound and discusses the comprehension difficulties that arise out of ambiguities in the law, out of transfer problems between legal and common language, and out of canon law's confusing mix of legal, doctrinal, and moral norms.
Judith Hahn is a theologian and canonist. She is serving as Professor of Canon Law at the University of Bonn. She has been a Visiting Scholar at Thomas More Law School, Australian Catholic University, the Faculty of Theology and Religion, University of Oxford, and a Fellow at the Käte Hamburger Center for Advanced Study "Law as Culture", Bonn. She has published on the theory and sociology of canon law and on the status of religious law in modern society, including the books Church Law in Modernity (2019) and Foundations of a Sociology of Canon Law (2022).
