The two-volume Practical Commentary on the
Code of Canons of the Eastern Churches is the
work of canonists and experts of the Eastern
and Latin Churches. The editors are two well-known canonists, John D. Faris and Jobe Abbass,
OFM Conv.
The work provides both the Latin and English
translation of the 1990 Codex Canonum Ecclesiarum Orientalium and the updates of the 2015
Mitis et Misericors Iesus and takes into account
the provisions of the 2016 De Concordia inter
Codices. English translations of documents relevant to the promulgation of the Eastern Code
are included. Along with a canon-by-canon
commentary, the Practical Commentary includes
references to Nuntia and the iter of each canon,
tables of corresponding canons, an analytical
index, and a table indicating the sources referred to in the Code.
