Summary
Details

""The Principles of Delegation 1929"" is a rigorous scholarly examination of the juridical concepts governing the transfer of authority within the ecclesiastical structure of the Catholic Church. Written by Raymond A. Kearney, this work provides a comprehensive analysis of the legal frameworks established by the 1917 Code of Canon Law, specifically focusing on how jurisdiction and power are delegated among clergy and church officials.

The book explores the nature of delegated power, the specific conditions required for its valid exercise, and the legal limitations that define its scope. It carefully distinguishes between ordinary and delegated jurisdiction, offering clarity on the administrative and judicial functions essential to church governance. By tracing the development of these principles, the work serves as an essential resource for understanding the internal legal mechanics and the hierarchical order of religious institutions.

This treatise remains a significant historical and legal contribution to the field of canon law. It offers profound insights into the formal processes that ensure legal consistency and organizational order within a global religious hierarchy. It is an invaluable reference for students of legal history, theology, and ecclesiastical administration seeking to understand the structural foundations of church law in the early twentieth century.
