Abstract

This paper explores the scope of the fundamental obligations of the faithful. The analysis reflects first on canonical doctrine and the provisions of the Code in defining the features of such obligations: the obligatory nature of the law, the general scope of duty and, above all, the primacy or fundamentality of an obligation as such. Our purpose is to classify this core sense of obligation in relation to the liturgical-charitable, educational-formational and social-participatory fields, highlighting the main features in each area. This interpretation reads obligations as complementary to rights, and cannot be understood as a limitation or restriction on the fair recognition of such rights.
