AS CONTRIBUIÇÕES DO DIREITO CANÔNICO PARA O DIREITO ROMANO E SUAS INFLUÊNCIAS ATUAIS

It is known that the law and all western humanity has suffered throughout its history the influence of religion, above all, of Christianity. Nowadays, canon law is restricted to religion, however, its contributions are still part of society. Much is said about the Secular State, however, there is a confusion between secularism and secularism, an independent state with an anti-religious state. Fact is, that throughout the history of mankind radicalisms have always done harm. Manichaean looks do little to contribute to the truth. To tie religion to the State as a divine mandate to those who govern seems to be a system fated to absolutism. Confessional states have been harsh with religions other than the one in power. On the other hand, an anti-religious state seems to be unaware of the human trajectory and its relationship with metaphysical values.
