Offices
The Latin Church's Code of Canon Law turns ecclesiology into offices, powers, records, procedures, and remedies. A pastor-removal dispute shows both achievements and limits of that legal order: authority must state a cause and follow a process, yet the people whose parish is changing have a different standing from the officeholder whose removal is at issue.
Aristotle's Ethics and Politics connect practical judgment to a conflict over office: democrats and oligarchs each turn one real equality or inequality into a complete claim to rule. The selected books ask how character, law, education, and constitutions can orient power toward a common good while building that good on exclusions Aristotle himself treats as natural.
