∙ 12y agoThe law that governs the Catholic Church is Canon Law.
The Code of Canon law has it all. the Canon law was most recently revised in I believe l982 ( last major overhaul was l9l7- same year War Powers act came out!) Canon means rule or law- not firearms of the artillery type . There used to be five main sections and the marriage laws were under Section Five. Each law is referred to as a canon, and they are numbered like Canon l388 which forbids unauthorized disclosure of classified information, easy to remember, famous German Cannon ( the 88) plus the superstition-ridden number l3. Women who claim to have been subjected to dirty talk in the confessional booths sometimes invoke this one, and for the errant padre- look out below!
The collection of the Laws (crimes and punishments) of the Catholic Church is known as "Canon Law." Canon Law does not include "Liturgical Law," or any dogmatic statement of the faith.

Did any pope of the Roman Catholic Church get rid of eating Kosher all year?
Couple problems with your question, there is no Roman Catholic Church, to begin with. It's just Catholic, not Roman Catholic. Roman is an epithet first commonly used in England after the protestant revolt to describe the Catholic Church. It is never used by the official Catholic Church. Secondly, Kosher is a system of laws and regulations to regulate food and eating for Observant Jews, not Catholics. The Kosher laws are found in the Pentateuch, the first five books of the Bible. Of the 613 laws in the Pentateuch, the moral laws are binding on all humanity for all time. The ceremonial laws (of which the Kosher laws are a prime example) were to foreshadow the coming of the Messiah. To obey any of the ceremonial laws of the Old Testament then would be to say that you don't believe that Christ has arrived in the person of Jesus, and would therefore be a mortal sin. St. Paul covered this in his letter to the Galatians, in this he refers to the ceremonial laws of the Old Testament as the "Works of the Law" as understood by all Jewish rabbis and enshrined in later Talmudic Judaism. So, no, the Pope did not get rid of eating Kosher all year long, Jesus Christ, followed by St. Paul did.
