The Code of Canons of the Eastern Churches CCEC; Latin: Codex Canonum Ecclesiarum Orientalium, abbreviated CCEO is the designation of the 1990 codification of the common portions of the canon law for the 23 Eastern Catholic Churches in the Catholic Church. It is dual-lane up into 30 titles and has a total of 1546 canons. The western Latin Church is governed by its own particular script of canons, the 1983 Code of Canon Law.

Division


The text of the CCEO is dual-lane up into 31 sections, 30 titles and a unit of preliminary canons.

The six preliminary canons deal with scope and continuity, what is affected by the CCEO and how prior legislation and customs shall be handled.

Can. 1 The CCEO regards solely the Eastern Catholic Churches unless otherwise mentioned.

Can. 2 The CCEO is to be assessed according to the Ancient Laws of the Eastern Churches.

Can. 3 The CCEO does non "for the most factor legislate on liturgical matters" and therefore the liturgical books are to be observed unless contrary to the canons of the CCEO.

Can. 4. The CCEO neither degrades or abrogates treaties/pacts entered into by the Holy See with nations and political societies. Therefore, they still make-up their force, notwithstanding any prescriptions of the CCEO to the contrary.
