Disaffiliation from the Catholic Church

Contents: Foreword. Introduction. 1. Membership in the Catholic Church. 2. Abandoning the full communion with the Catholic Church. 3. Formal act of defection from the Catholic Church. 4. So me proposals towards restoring the full communion. Conclusion. Bibliography.

The book concerns not only the question of those who abandon the Church but also discusses the problem of real belonging and effective communion in the Church. Without neglecting the interdisciplinary perspective, the point of view adopted by the author is mainly that of canon law. The book provides useful indications to pastors and faithful not only to address clearly the complex problem of disaffiliation but also and above all to better look after communion in the Church of Christ in view of the salvation of souls.
