  7.5 Potentiality of Law  
  Article 269-Potentiality  
  Canon 3038  
  Potentiality or “Power” is both the implied and actual ability to influence the actions of other higher order life forms within a given environment through a source of power.  
  Canon 3039  
  There are only three (3) types of Power- Divine, Moral and Temporal :  
  (i) Divine Power is the proof of holding a valid Office into which is vested proper Authority therefore Right of Use ultimately sourced from Divine Authority and Divine Will; and  
  (ii) Moral Power is the possession of trust of others usually through strength of personal character, authenticity and ethical standing; and  
  (iii) Temporal Power, is transitional power based on force, fear, threat, or other forms of coercion issued by one's position.  
  Canon 3040  
  All levels of Office from which is sourced a level of Divine Power and Right may be defined into six (6) levels being:  
  (i) Office of Executor into which is vested the Authority of Dominium; and  
  (ii) Office of Censor into which is vested the Authority of Visum; and  
  (iii) Office of Rector into which is vested the Authority of Magisterium; and  
  (iv) Office of Curator into which is vested the Authority of Imperium; and  
  (v) Office of Administrator into which is vested the Authority of Officium; and  
  (vi) Office of Custodian into which is vested the Authority of Custoditum; and  
  Canon 3041  
  By definition, a man or woman that does not validly possess an Office into which is vested true Authority has no Divine Power, nor Divine Right.  
  Canon 3042  
  While an Officer possessing and Office may have Authority, without Moral Power they will be regarded as a tyrant and oppressor.  
  Canon 3043  
  The weakest power is temporal power. Even if a person or association possess substantial temporal power in the absence of moral power and claimed divine power they cannot sustain control.  
  Canon 3044  
  Neither Divine Power nor Moral Power can be legitimately achieved through Temporal Power.
