Weak Course
I’ve listened to about three dozen NYKM courses over the years, and this one is probably the weakest of the lot. I was looking forward to an academic presentation on canon law, but what I got instead struck me as a bunch of Catholic propaganda. I learned virtually nothing about canon law itself. I will be sending this course back for a refund and hoping NYKM comes up with a future course that actually teaches about canon law.
