Correlation of Modern Russian Law on Church Legislation

The master's thesis deals with the main problems of the correlation of Canon law, Church law and modern Russian legislation. The relevance of the work is due to the fact that the issues under consideration occupy one of the key places in modern science, both constitutional law and sectoral legislation, as well as the science of Canon and ecclesiastical law and other theological Sciences in General. The article analyzes the concept of "norms of law" as a link between Church and state law. The effect of legal norms of ecclesiastical and secular law is not limited to mutual consideration of legal norms, but is also expressed in the processes of mutual reception of legal norms. It is established that the question of the correlation of norms from the position of Canon law and internal Church legislation of the Russian Orthodox Church has theoretical and practical significance for other religious organizations (associations) registered in the established order. The author comes to the conclusion that the mutual accounting and reception of legal norms by Church and state legislators leads to a positive correlation effect, which is based, among other things, on the theological method, and also has its expression in philosophy, in the basic laws of dialectics. Determined that a condition affecting mutual reception and registration of state legal norms and norms of Church law is the assignment of States to either clerical or secular type of state. Keywords: norm of law, internal Church law, external Church law, positive correlation effect, complex branch of legislation, Canon law.
