Abstract
Until the early 13th century, collections of canon law were issued by private individuals. In 1210, Pope Innocent III promulgated a collection of canon law for the first time in the history of the Church, sending it with a bull to the University of Bologna. In 1226, Pope Honorius III promulgated a collection of his own decretals together with the constitution of Emperor Frederick II by sending them with a bull to the University of Bologna. Similar steps were taken by Pope Gregory IX in 1234, Pope Boniface VIII in 1298, and Pope John XXII in 1317. Pope Benedict XIV sent a collection of his constitutions with a promulgation bull to the University of Bologna in 1744. In 1917 Pope Benedict XV promulgated Codex Iuris Canonici with an apostolic constitution. Pope John Paul II also promulgated both the Code of Canon Law with an apostolic constitution in 1983 and the Code of Canons of the Eastern Churches with an apostolic constitution in 1990. It is the legislator’s obligation within the the process of implementing new laws to publicly announce the collection of law, so that its addressees can become acquainted with the norms of law included in it, and so that these norms can become the applicable law.
