(L.circa meaning around); slightly more or slightly less. When the canon uses the term “about of” it gives the person certain liberty to act according to his discretion. Thus, when CIC, c. 498 says that for the priest’s senate about half of the members should be elected, the diocesan bishop has the liberty to nominate half, little less than half or little more than half of its members.
