The Sources of Canon Law | Interview w/Fr. Thomas Joseph White, OP

What are the foundations of canon law? In this episode of Angelicum Insights, Fr. Thomas Joseph White, O.P., Rector of the Pontifical University of St. Thomas Aquinas (Angelicum), explores the main sources that shape canon law: natural law, which reflects human justice and the moral order; custom, which adapts universal principles to local contexts; and divine and ecclesial law, which express God’s will and the Church’s living authority. Together, these elements reveal that canon law is not only a system of governance but a reflection of faith—rooted in nature, shaped by tradition, and elevated by divine revelation. This series offers short reflections on today’s questions through the lens of Scripture and the Catholic intellectual tradition. 💬 Have a question you'd like us to explore?
