Each epistemology has a different function depending on the Question asked by and scope encompassing the bull. However, sometimes multiple epistemologies may be appropriate for the same question so different bulls can come to different outcomes based on their epistemology of choice.
==Interpretive philosophy of scripture==
While the epistemology of a bull dictates the systematic approach to logical reasoning behind the bull being created, an interpretive philosophy underpins the framing of the purpose of bull.
Of note is the tension between exegesis and eisegesis. [[W: Exegesis|Exegesis]] is the philosophy that scripture bears its own truths and must be uncovered as is. [[W:Eisegesis|Eisegesis]] is the philosophy that scriptural analysis is inherently subject to the circumstances and biases of the the interpreter and thus posits that a successful interpretation of scripture is the its successful application in substantiating or denouncing a predetermined viewpoint.
These interpretive philosophies are predicated on assumptions about the scripture itself as well as the relationship between sapient mortals and the scripture. Exegesis relies on the premise that scripture is inherently knowable and that the reality it creates for the people is absolute. Eisegesis relies on the premise that context influences scripture and that the efficacy of interpretation lies in the effectiveness of its ability to defend or dispel a perspective. Exegesis is sometimes referred to as the Literalist approach whereas Eisegesis is referred to as the Activistic approach.
==Species of Canon law==
Canon law consists of:
===
===Moral law===
This law concerns outward and inward morality.
Line 44 ⟶ 50:
* Outward morality relates to morality towards others. This includes how we treat others.
===Administrative law===
This is law concerning the governance and administration of the Magisterium of Paxism. This includes the proper seniority of Magisters, their recognition appointment and dismissal, progression and expulsion, powers and duties and their relationship with entities beyond the clergy such as the public and government.
===Matrimonial law===
Matrimonial law is concerned with marriage. It is the intersection of sacramental law and moral law manifested through the proper organisation of romantic relationships and their culmination in the institution of marriage. The proper processes to be followed in execution of and proper qualifications for those entering into marriage are defined by matrimonial law. Furthermore, matrimonial law governs the relationship of the participants in the marriage contract, the appropriate expectations of conduct and finally the termination of marriage and the expectations theretofore.
===Law of Personal Status===
The law of personal status concerns that identity of individuals from their own perspective as well as from the perspective of the community or society. It concerns what properties are possessed and rights are imbibed in sapient beings by virtue of their sentience. It aims to delineate how much of the person's identity consists of their external performance and internal self-description. It forms the basis of determining capacity of one person to exercise certain actions such as rituals, to enter into arrangements such as marriage etc.
===Family law===
Family concerns the description and delineation of the institution of the family and relationship between its participants. At its core it consists of the marital unit and its offspring and aims to look at the expectations and rights that individuals in such units possess.
