Courts of Judgement of the Romanian Orthodox Church. A Living Testimony of Joining the Tradition With Novelty

Summary/Abstract: The institutions of Orthodox church law were less analyzed in the juridical state literature [1], for which reason this study suggests the analysis of the judgement court of the Romanian Orthodox Church, according to the state and church law. The subject it is not aimlessly, because the VIth Edition of THE INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE OF RIGHTS, EUROPEAN STUDIES AND INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS offers the opportunity to evoke European tradition, future and European vocation as factors influencing state law and, at the same time, to see to what level the Church has managed to maintain the perfect balance between the stated concepts. In ecclesiastical [2] space, the canonical [3] tradition and church law perfectly blends with the evolution of profane law, because Orthodox church law and canons have a unique and own element, namely, the Person of the Son of God made human [4], who by the power of the Holy Spirit penetrates the legal text with grace. Thus, the text of church law, either it is canonical, statutory or regulation, produces not only legal effects, but also spiritual or charismatic effects. In this sense, a living expression of the joining work of tradition with novelty in the field of criminal procedural church law is the very theme of the present study, namely The Courts of Judgement of the Romanian Orthodox Church. In the following, we will analyze the state and church provisions regarding the existence, definition, composition and competence of these judicial courts, and at the end we will outline the natural course of the church process, in parallel with the state one.
