VII.   Law

An Ordinance is a valid law created as Precept, Rescript, Deed or Authoritative Direction under ecclesiastical authority in accordance with Ecclesiastical Law, in accord with these canons.

Any Precept, Rescript, Deed or Authoritative Direction that is not in accord with these canons is not a valid Ordinance, nor Direction or Order but a false order and therefore null and void from the beginning.

Any enforcement of a false Ordinance is automatically a grave offence against the law and the rule of law representing a direct injury against the law with no valid excuse.
