Introduction to the Study and Teaching of Sclessiatic Public Law

Abstract

"Let each one do his duty to the extent of his moral strength," said a profound writer. I will fulfill mine, trying to combat the erroneous idea and frivolous tendency, which from some time to this part, with deceitful appearances, and passing through narrow prism or petty aspirations, has become generalized, mainly among students, about the uselessness of the cultivation of this juridical branch: "Ecclesiastical Public Law", considering it, unthinkingly as irritating anachronism, revealing a disturbing tendency and an alarming current of foolish cerebral emancipation, by way of a murky renovating current of thought and misunderstood human knowledge, against the mental regime of that "alma mater", our University of San Carlos, of classical type, with its historical characteristics, and, which serves as a true stronghold until the present hour of its happy Centenary, despite improvised wise men and regenerators.
