CANON LAW AND LAND JUSTICE: ALIENATING PROPERTY AS A RELIGIOUS COMMUNITY

In discerning the possibility of a land justice property plan, have you ever been confused about the role of Canon Law? Have you wondered whether the alienation petition process poses risks or limitations, or heard contradictory or confusing advice about this process? Join us for a conversation and Q&A with Sr. Sharon Euart, RSM, Executive Director of the Resource Center for Religious Institutes and an established canon lawyer, as we discuss the canonical process of alienating property as a religious community.

We’ll cover definitions of technical terms, Vatican-related procedures, strategies for framing a petition, and relevant requirements for alienating property -- all things we can work with as we make property plans rooted in land justice. We’ll surface what is most important to include in a petition to alienate property that seeks to center racial & ecological justice, and we’ll also address the procedures for canonical alienation.
