Which book among the Code of Canon Law deals with the sanctifying function of the Church?

• A. General Norms
• B. Teaching Function
• C. Sanctifying Function
• D. Temporal Goods

Answer: (C)

Canon law is organized around the Church’s threefold mission: sanctifying, teaching, and governing. One of the volumes is specifically devoted to the sanctifying function, covering how the Church sanctifies the faithful through the sacraments, liturgy, and related pastoral actions. This makes it the volume that directly addresses how sanctification is ordered and regulated within the Church. The other volumes handle different aspects: general norms govern overarching principles and interpretation, the teaching function covers doctrine and catechesis, and temporal goods deals with the Church’s property and finances. So the volume focused on sanctifying matters is the one that bears that title and scope.
