It is
the duty of the judge to care for justice and peace in the community of God’s people.
Justice is a virtue which the judge ought to demand also from himself. Therefore,
he should permanently improve moral precepts in himself. He ought to develop
good manners and everything which can influence the realization of the principle
of justice. The article “The principle of justice in the service of the judge of ecclesiastical
court” consists of three parts. The first part deals in general with the notion
of justice itself. In the second part, some statements of the Popes, John Paul II and
Benedict XVI, on justice in ecclesiastical courts are presented. The notion of justice
as an essential attribute of the judge of ecclesiastical court is discussed in the third
part of the article.
