Canon Law is closely connected to theology because it is based on:

• A. It is independent of faith
• B. It directly equals liturgical practice
• C. It is based on the Church's understanding of faith, sacraments, and the nature of the Church
• D. It only concerns clerics

Answer: (C)

Canon Law draws its authority from theology, with its rules and procedures flowing from the Church’s understanding of faith, the sacraments, and what the Church is as the body of Christ. Because of this theological grounding, its norms govern not only worship but the full life of the Church—its governance, discipline, and the rights and duties of both clergy and laity, as well as how sacraments are administered and how the Church is organized. It isn’t independent of faith or merely a reflection of liturgical practice, and it isn’t only about clerics; lay faithful and the broader Church community are affected by its provisions too. That inseparable link to faith, sacraments, and ecclesiology makes the statement correct.
