Wikipedia notes that canon law "includes the internal ecclesiastical law, or operational policy, governing the Catholic Church (both the Latin Church and the Eastern Catholic Churches), the Eastern Orthodox and Oriental Orthodox churches, and the individual national churches within the Anglican Communion." Browsing by associated-with lets a visitor find every instrument tied to the same body.FactsAssociated WithSourcesComments (0)Reader Challenges (0)FactsDirectoryCategoryWell-attestedReligious Legal Instruments 1Associated WithFilter Results4 entriesAdherents Today MaximumAll30,000,000 (1)1,200,000,000 (1)2,000,000,000 (1)2,300,000,000 (1)Adherents Today MinimumAll25,000,000 (1)1,200,000,000 (1)2,000,000,000 (1)2,300,000,000 (1)Basis of the Membership FigureAllIndependent Survey (3)National Census (1)Scholarly or Demographic Estimate (3)Establishment StatusAllDisestablished (1)Varies by Province (3)How the Expectation Is EnforcedAllCodified Obligation With Consequences (1)Customary Norm (2)Membership Figure As OfAll2001-03-01 (1)2010-01-01 (3)2011-01-27 (1)2011-03-01 (1)2011-12-19 (1)2012-12-18 (1)2020-01-01 (3)Origin PeriodAllNo founding event (1)Origin Period End YearAll500 BCE (1)50 (1)632 (1)1708 (1)Origin Period Start YearAll1500 BCE (1)30 (1)610 (1)1499 (1)Position on MarriageAllMarriage is held to be monogamous, with remarriage after divorce sanctioned under specified conditions (1)Marriage may licitly be polygynous (1)Position on SexualityAllSame-sex orientation or practice is held to bar full membership or participation (2)The body holds no single settled position; the question is actively and openly contested within it (1)Position on UsuryAllInterest of any kind on a loan is forbidden (1)Practice StatusAllLiving, and practised in varied local forms (2)Partly restricted: some elements are closed to outsiders (2)Standard Rate ExpectedAllTen percent.
