Abstract

This article is a short presentation of the theory of the ecclesial power (called Kirchengewalt in German) as found in the Second Vatican Council according to Klaus Mörsdorf, i.e. its theological principles, structure, mode of transmission and nature. The description of the potestas sacra is an opportunity for the Author to reread the concept of the „sacred power” in the Second Vatican Council. The Author himself agrees with Mörsdorf ’s views, even if not all the positions of the Munich Professor were applied in the present canon law.
