The volume is concluding with the scientific bibliography between 2012 and 2019 - according to years, in chronological order - of the Author (pp. 451 - 455).

It contains: 1) the authentic presentation of the principles of the divine revelation; 2) norms of administration of those sacraments and sacramentals which transmit concrete graces; 3) conservation of the work of the hierarchical community which has been entrusted on the Apostles. Therefore, the canon law means that crystallized disciplinary system which serves the saved human being to get to the salvation (which laid down originally in the Great Mission Command [Mt 28:19]).
