Sažetak
In this paper the author presents the implementation of the Second Vatican Council and its principles in the Catholic Church, by having renewed its legislature about »The temporal goods of the Church« in Book V of the 1983 Code of Canon Law for the Latin Church. Council's principles, decisions and recommendations had enormous influence on ecclesiology that influenced on Church's legislature, on Book V of the 1983 Code of Canon Law under the title »Temporal Goods of the Church« (cann. 1254-1310). The Second Vatican Council influenced most on the reform of beneficiary system and on giving priority to office before beneficiaries, what has not been the case through Church's history.
After the Second Vatican Council there have been introduced new structures, such as: economic councils, joint treasure, joint fund, social care, central fund and parish fund. After introduction, the author presents: 1) The inherent right and freedom of the Catholic Church to acquire, retain, administer and alienate temporal goods of the Church; 2) The withdrawal from beneficiary system and its rearrangement; 3) Charitable works of the Church; 4) The financial solidarity of bishops in college of bishops; 5) Just support of clergy and other Church's employees.
On the basis of discussions the author concludes that the Second Vatican Council, after the Code of Canon Law of 1917, had huge influence on Church's legislature on temporal goods of the Church, and also he points out that the Catholic Church and its juridical persons have the inherent right to acquire, retain, administer and alienate temporal goods of the Church in order to achieve the objectives which are proper to the Catholic Church according to Second Vatican Council and the Code of Canon Law of 1983.
