Abstract

This article offers a discussion about the revised translation can. 1055–1165 of the Code of Canon Law of 1983. The new translation was approved by the Polish Bishops’ Conference on November 18, 2021. The author discusses the most important changes in the translation into Polish of the canons regulating marriage, giving the justification for the revision. In most cases, the changes consist of linguistic corrections, especially stylistic ones. Sometimes, however, thorough verification of the existing translation revealed the necessity of more substantial modifications. One of the reasons inspiring the new translation was the ambition to adjust the language of the Code of Canon Law to the Polish language of the law and lawyers’ language.

Keywords:
