Explores the central claims behind the unity of the Catholic Church, from Christ’s divine lordship to the authority of canon law.

This work surveys how key Catholic formulations describe Jesus Christ as both God and man, and how that double nature grounds universal kingly power and moral authority. It examines how the Church links this doctrine to the authority of the Pope, sacred councils, and the Canon Law, including revisions of the Gratian Decretal and related texts. Readers will see how these ideas are defended against rival interpretations, and how Church tradition asserts continuity across centuries of teaching.

Understand why Christ’s lordship is described as universal, both visible and spiritual.
Learn how Catholic decrees and councils shape belief, practice, and governance.
See why a stable canon of Church law is argued to be essential to unity.
Discover concerns raised about faith taught apart from historic canons and apostolic authority.

Ideal for readers interested in Catholic theology, church history, and the debates surrounding church authority and doctrine.
