Sažetak
In the article the author compares two Codes of the Catholic Church: Code of Canon Law for the Latin Church (CIC) and Code of Canons of the Eastern Churches (CCEC); for the purpose of better understanding, he has brought some different names in CCEC in relation to the Latin Church, and he has stressed the principle of equality and respect of mutual discipline and rite. The Church legislator, St. Father John Paul II, brought in specific regulations for the exercise of the rights of natural and legal persons, as well as for particular structures within the one Catholic Church. The aim of this work is to get to know the differences of two Codes. In this work the author points out different codification, terminology, structure and diversity of rite, as well as the list of Eastern Catholic Churches. All the Churches are sui iuris and their rites are equal. The Catholic Church draws breaths of the East and West. Understanding of both Codes contributes to brotherly love among the members of different Churches.
