Exploring the concept of "sacramentality," the book examines how religious and legal rituals possess performative power that transforms reality. It highlights the interplay between law and religion, illustrating how legal frameworks shape religious practices and vice versa. This interconnection produces various social, legal, and spiritual outcomes, emphasizing the significance of rituals in both domains.

Exploring the intersection of sociology and canon law, this book delves into the legal structure of the Catholic Church while introducing a new subdiscipline. It examines how theology and canon law can benefit from sociological insights, investigates the concept of "law" in religious contexts, and analyzes the conditions for legal validity. By focusing on a religious order's quest for balance amid modern challenges, it contributes to discussions on the relevance of religious law in secular and pluralistic societies.
