A travers cette thèse, on met en relief l'originalité de la notion de personne juridique privée dans l'ordonnancement canonique, en partant du code de 1917 jusqu'au code de 1983. Délimitation qui ne doit rien au hasard, car elle correspond à l'émergence, au développement et à la systématisation de cette notion. Sur la base des prémisses à la fois théologiques, juridiques et historiques, il s'agit pour nous de mieux situer le processus qui a abouti à l'introduction des personnes juridiques privées dans le code de droit canonique de 1983 ; processus dont on s'attache à montrer les points saillants, par l'agencement d'une série d'éléments disparates et hétérogènes en un ensemble plus cohérent. Toute notion juridique n'ayant pas seulement une utilité conceptuelle, mais également pratique, il importe d'en évaluer la portée en vue d'une meilleure efficience de celle-ci ; ce à quoi on s'attelle en nous appuyant sur l'exemple des associations canoniques privées dans le contexte français. Cette optique nous conduit à une confrontation du droit canonique et du droit étatique français en matière associative, non sans procéder parallèlement à une mise au point sur l'application de la législation canonique sur les associations privées dans les diocèses français. De tout ceci découle le fait qu'il est possible de préserver la spécificité canonique à travers certains mécanismes civils, dans les associations civiles qui servent de support juridique aux associations canoniques privées. Et ce en respectant le principe de laïcité. D'où l'esquisse de certaines perspectives liées aux associations privées, quand on les aborde à l'aune d'un droit spécifique dans un contexte tout aussi spécifique que celui de la France. Ainsi, se dégagent les deux pôles essentiels de notre thèse. / This thesis emphasises the originality of the canonical notion of private juridical person drawing on the 1917 and the 1983 Codes of Canon Law. This period was not chosen at random. In fact, it corresponds to the emergence, development and systematisation of the notion of private juridical person. Hence, the objective of this study was firstly to illuminate the process that led to the introduction of private juridical persons in the 1983 Code in the light of its theological, juridical and historical premises, and secondly to illustrate the key aspects of the process by situating a series of disparate and heterogeneous elements within a more coherent framework.In addition to conceptual utility, every juridical notion also has a practical value. It is therefore important to evaluate its significance with a view to promoting greater practical effectiveness. This thesis aims to achieve this by drawing on the example of private canonical associations in the French context. This optic leads us to compare the canon law and French civil law relating to associations, and in parallel with this, to make a study of the application of canonical legislation to private associations in French dioceses. From this, the study concludes that it is possible to preserve canonical specificity within civil associations by means of various civil law mechanisms that serve as a juridical foundation for private canonical associations. It is also possible to achieve this while maintaining respect for the principle of secularism. On the basis of this work, the study sketches out various perspectives for private associations in the light of a specific law in a context as particular as that existing in France. This leads to the emergence of the two major poles of our thesis.

Nesta dissertação, defender-se-á que o poder de controle se pareça com o que poderia ser denominado de um direito de propriedade indireto. Conforme será demonstrado, isto estaria de acordo com a diferença entre o poder de controle direto e o poder de controle indireto (arts. 243, §2º, LSA, e 1.098, II, CC) e com o conceito da transferência indireta dos bens da sociedade (art. 254-A, caput e §1º, LSA) utilizados na legislação brasileira. Para levar a cabo esta comparação, abordar-se-á, novamente, o problema do antigo direito de propriedade. Durante a pesquisa realizada para a feitura do presente trabalho monográfico, percebeu-se que a literatura brasileira especializada não costumava aludir à bibliografia antiga sobre o poder de controle no Brasil. Acredita-se, assim, ter contribuído para as discussões sobre o poder de controle no Brasil com a referência a estas obras de outrora. Em particular, crê-se ter contribuído para o debate sobre a permanência do poder de controle em face dos livros dos Professores W. Ferreira, J. E. Borges e C. Champaud. Este último, na verdade, não é um autor brasileiro, mas o seu trabalho foi especificamente analisado pelos Professores F. K. Comparato e O. Gomes na década de setenta antes da edição da Lei das Sociedades por Ações. Ao final, expõe-se a conclusão de que o poder de controle se assemelharia a um direito de propriedade indireto. / In this thesis, it shall be contended that corporate control is equivalent to an indirect property right. As it shall be demonstrated, this would be in accordance with the difference between direct corporate control and indirect corporate control (articles 243, §2º, BCL, and 1.098, II, BCC) and with the concept of the indirect transfer of goods (article 254-A, caput and §1º, BCL) mentioned in the Brazilian legislation. In order to make this comparison, the ancient problem of the property right shall be addressed. During the research made to elaborate this thesis, it was noticed that the Brazilian law literature did not usually direct attention to old references on corporate control in Brazil. As a result, it is believed that a contribution has been made to the discussion on corporate control in Brazil with reference to these previous works. In particular, it is understood that a contribution has been made to the debate about the permanence of corporate control in light of the works of Professors W. Ferreira, J. E. Borges and C. Champaud. This last Professor is not, in fact, a Brazilian scholar, but his work has been specifically reviewed by Professors F. K. Comparato and O. Gomes during the seventies, before the Brazilian Corporation Law was enacted. In conclusion, it is argued that corporate control is similar to an indirect property right.
