In 1189, pope Innocence III compared the Papacy to the sun and the Roman Empire to the moon. Things however changed in the early modern period, when the European states became major players and the Catholic Church the distant moon. Yet, the Church continued to play a pivotal role in the field of law. This workshop aims to show how it defended its spaces of legal independence and organised a multilayered system of courts and normative orders.
