Summary/Abstract: In the wake of the changes of the 19th century, the Church expressed its desire to be an active participant in social processes. Over time, the cause of promoting peace became an integral part of the Church’s social teaching. During the two World Wars, the Church did much to promote peace in an institutional framework. Vatican Council II has the merit of giving lay faithful a worthy recognition in the affairs of the Church. The teaching of the Council has been reflected in the new Code of Canon Law, so that lay faithful can be involved in the work of the Church, including the promotion of peace, not only in general but also in a legal framework. In this context, three legal relationships will be discussed: the general apostolicity of lay Christ-faithful, the ecclesiastical offices and the right of association of Christ-faithful.
