Prior to Vatican Council II there has been a dominant ecclesiology which looked at the Church as an institution. “that is to say, the view that defines the Church primarily in terms of its visible structures, especially the rights and powers of its officers.” With the coming of Vatican II, the Church is defined “in the nature of sacrament—a sign and instrument that is of communion with God and of unity among all men.” The principal paradigm of the Church in the documents of Vatican Council II is that of ”the people of God... The Church is seen as a community of persons each of whom is individually free.” It is with this view of the Church as a circle of friends and not a hierarchical pyramid that we shall explain the theological foundation of Administration Canon Law in the Code of 1983.
