| 1.1 Divine Law | ||
| Article 04-The Law | ||
| Canon 15 | ||
| The Law in name, vow or oath refers to this body of valid canon law and no other. | ||
 |
||
| Canon 16 | ||
| When a rule is in accordance with the Law, then it may be legitimately considered a law, having the full force and effect of the Law. However, when a rule is against the Law, it has neither force nor effect of Law. | ||
|
||
| Canon 17 | ||
| A Divine Law or a Natural Law is established ab initio (from the beginning), regardless of its first date of promulgation. | ||
|
||
| Canon 18 | ||
| A Divine Law or Natural Law is its own proof and evidence in accordance with these canons. | ||
|
||
| Canon 19 | ||
| A Positive Law is established and takes force when it is promulgated in accordance with these canons. | ||
|
||
| Canon 20 | ||
| Particular laws are promulgated in the manner determined by the legislator and begin to take effect fourteen (14) days after the day of promulgation unless the Law itself establishes another time period. | ||
|
||
| Canon 21 | ||
| Any law presently in force which is contrary to the prescript of a valid canon is therefore reprobate, suppressed and not permitted to be revived. | ||
|
||
| Canon 22 | ||
| Laws regard the present and future, not the past, unless they expressly provide for the past. | ||
