Here is an excellent address by Cardinal Burke (which he has presented in various versions) assessing the Church and the Papacy's approach to Canon Law during the years since the Second Vatican Council and the need for an attitude of legal integrity and continuity for spreading the Gospel. It is an excellent survey of the Church's attitude towards her own disciplinary teaching vis-a-vis the world over the last three papacies including that of Benedict XVI. I have to say that it is among the top best lectures I've ever attended.
