  • Was the 1917 Code of Canon Law unchanged in its very word until 1953 when Pius XII altered the fasting laws, or were there any additions or modifications to the letter of the law before then?

  • If you want to follow what was going on with Canon Law before the Council, there is a hard (but not impossible) to find set called the Canon Law Digest.  It has multiple volumes each covering a certain amount of years.  

    The Council of Trent, The Catechism of the Council of Trent, Papal Teaching, The Teaching of the Holy Office, The Teaching of the Church Fathers, The Code of Canon Law, Countless approved catechisms, The Doctors of the Church, The teaching of the Dogmatic

  • I do not believe that the Motu Proprio of His Holiness Pope Pius XII, Sacram Communionem, changed anything in the 1917 Code of Canon Law.  "We lessened the time of fasting to be observed before the celebration of Mass and the reception of Holy Communion in the afternoon to three hours for solid food and to one hour for non-alcoholic liquids."

    CAN. 1251.
       § 1. Lex ieiunii praescribit ut nonnisi unica per diem comestio fiat; sed non vetat aliquid cibi mane et vespere sumere, servata tamen circa ciborum quantitatem et qualitatem probata locorum consuetudine.
       § 2. Nec vetitum est carnes ac pisces in eadem refectione permiscere; nec serotinam refectionem cuм prandio permutare.

       § 3. Lex solius ieiunii servanda est reliquis omnibus Quadragesimae diebus.
       § 4. Diebus dominicis vel festis de praecepto lex abstinentiae, vel abstinentiae et ieiunii, vel ieiunii tantum cessat, excepto festo tempore Quadragesimae, nec pervigilia anticipantur; item cessat Sabbato Sancto post meridiem.

    CAN. 1253.
       His canonibus nihil immutatur de indultis particularibus, de votis cuiuslibet personae physicae vel moralis, de constitutionibus ac regulis cuiusvis religionis vel instituti approbati sive virorum sive mulierum in communi viventium etiam sine votis.

    CAN. 1254.
       § 1. Abstinentiae lege tenentur omnes qui septimum aetatis annum expleverint.

    Omnes pro Christo
