In the fourth book of his theological-juridical treatise ›De legibus ac Deo legislatore‹, published in 1612, Francisco Suárez sets out the foundations of a theory of ecclesiastical law; he regards these – after civil laws – as the second form of human-made positive law. To this end, the Coimbra-based theologian, philosopher and jurist argues, in opposition to Protestantism, that there is – and must be – governing authority within the Church, and outlines its specific nature, which derives from Christ.
