Sui iuris (/ˈsuːaɪ ˈdʒʊərɪs/ or /ˈsuːi ˈjurɪs/), also spelled sui juris, is a Latin phrase that literally means "of one's own right".[1] It is used in both the Catholic Church's canon law[2] and secular law.[3] The term church sui iuris is used in the Catholic Code of Canons of the Eastern Churches (CCEO) to denote the autonomous churches in Catholic communion. The Catholic Church consists of 24 churches, including the Latin Church and 23 Eastern Catholic churches.
