Periodica de re canonica, more frequently called Periodica, is the journal of the Faculty of Canon Law of the Pontifical Gregorian University.
Beyond studies and canonical research, the journal publishes comments regarding rotal sentences and decrees of the Apostolic Signatura. The conferences of "Colloqui" of alumni of the faculty are also produced.
The first issue of each year reports a bibliographic list with recent publications in the field of canon law. The fourth issue presents details regarding the doctoral dissertations from within the Faculty: the arguments put forth by students, defended dissertations, and those that have been published.
The journal is open to contributions from professors of the Faculty, rotal judges, curial officials, those who work in tribunals, and other canonists. Sometimes the results of more interesting doctoral dissertations from within the Faculty are published. The task of the journal is to consider new developments in canonical doctrine, Church legislation and administration, and to be open to new horizons in reflection on ecclesial reality.
Each volume (annual) of Periodica is published in four issues of about 700 pages in total. Articles can be written in Latin, Italian, French, English, Spanish and German.
The Directors of the Periodica are Professors Damian G.Astigueta, Gianfranco Ghirlanda sj.and Yuji Sugawara S.I. They all interpret Vatican Council II irrationally to create a rupture with Tradition.
So at the Gregorian University, and other pontifical universities in Rome, students and seminarians are discriminated against, who affirm the dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus(EENS). They are told that the dogma EENS has been made redundant with Vatican Council II. LG 8, LG 14, LG 16 etc are said to be exceptions. In other words, Lumen Gentium refers to visible and personally known non Catholics saved outside the Church in the present times.This is irrational.But if they were invisible they couuld not be exceptions to EENS. They would have to be visible to be exceptions.
Now we know that Lumen Gentium only refers to hypothetical and speculative cases.The professors at the Department of Canon Law have made a mistake.
Where are the non Catholics saved outside the Church in 2019, what are their names? There are none.Where are the non Catholics saved as referenced in Lumen Gentium 8 for example, over the last 50 years ? There are none.
Vatican Council II nowhere contradicts the past exclusivist ecclesiology, an ecumenism of return and 16th century EENS.Yet this is how the directors of the Periodica would interpret the Council.
Similarly if students affirm the Syllabus of Errors and the Athanasius Creed they are not granted permission to study at the pontifical universities or enter a seminary in Rome. Since the Rector would say that Vatican Council II is a rupture with these Church documents. In other words hypothetical cases are interpreted as being objectivly known people saved outside the Church.This is the reason given to reject a conservative Catholic student.
Students are not allowed to complete their exams unless they go along with this deception. This subterfuge is supported by canonists and the Department of Canon Law at the Gregorian and other pontifial universities.
