6.1 Institution

Article 179 - Institution

Canon 4540 (link)

An Institution, also known as Religious Institution is the term used to define the total aggregate of legally constituted orders, colleges, churches, trusts, corporate bodies or entities of a particular Religion or Cult as a single legal entity, whether or not such a singular legal entity physically exists.

Canon 4541 (link)

By definition, there may be only one (1) Religious Institution for a particular Religion or Cult. Any legal, or jurisdictional requirements or design that enables a Religion or Cult to be treated as multiple and distinct Institutions shall have no force or effect over these Canons.

Canon 4542 (link)

No Religion or Cult may legitimately claim higher or greater authority than One Heaven. Therefore, all Institutions are subject to the Supreme Authority and Jurisdiction of the Society of One Heaven and associated valid entities.

Canon 4543 (link)

No Religion or Cult may legitimately claim higher or greater land and property rights than the Society of One Heaven. Therefore, all claims of real property and property in general by Institutions are subject to the Supreme Authority and Jurisdiction of the Society of One Heaven and associated valid entities.

Canon 4544 (link)

The deed, instrument or rules of incorporation of an Institution is invalid unless it conforms to these canons and the most sacred Covenant Pactum de Singularis Caelum.
