| His father and grandfather, the latter a celebrated jurist and canonist, had been judges in that city. |
| The Dutch canonist Piet Fransen, S. J. has proposed the grouping of the whole Church into patriarchates along regional or continental lines. |
| Although critical of the Cardinal, the report gave him credit for instigating two secret canon law trials, despite strong opposition from powerful canonist Monsignor Sheehy. |
| Whereas the Stoics construed natural law to refer to the cosmic order, the canonist of the twelfth century construed it to mean jus, the modern sense of right. |
| His life under these circumstances continued to be simply that of a physician and canonist. |
