Hello, my friends.

First of all, have a blessed new year!

I'm sorry to bother you once again.

According to Callan and McHugh's "Moral Theology" laws are divine or human, if the immediate lawgiver is God or man. Divine law includes eternal law, natural law and divine positive law. Human law includes ecclesiastical and civil laws.

What are the divisions and subdivisions of ecclesiastical law? I looked it up, but the answer is not clear. Some authors appear to consider ecclesiastical law and canon law to be the same, but others draw a distinction.

I'm asking because I want to have a systematic understanding of all laws. I know what eternal, natural, divine positive and civil laws are, but I'm a bit lost about ecclesiastical.

Can you help me?

Best regards,
Pedro
