The present study seeks to understand the process of formation of the sources of Canon Law during
the period understood as the Middle Ages. To this end, the Middle Ages will be briefly analyzed,
sometimes misinterpreted and distorted, however, it was a period of profound creation in the cultural,
philosophical, theological and legal-political fields, leaving a legacy for civilization. The Middle Ages are
characterized as the classic age of Canon Law, mainly because it was a period of progress in theological
discussions and Law. It is known that many criticisms made of the Code of Canon Law are due to the
fact that many are unaware of its spirit, that is, they are left with only the letter, forgetting that the
canonical norm, according to Michele Giordano, needs to be interpreted in connection with the justice
willed by God and, second, Saint John Paul II, the heritage from which the source of the Church's legallegislative
tradition emanates, are the books of the Old and New Testaments. The Corpus Iuris Canonici
is made up of six collections and sought to systematize the norms given, mainly by the Councils and the
Roman Pontiffs.
