LIQUIDATION OF THE CHURCH FUND: SELECTED LEGAL PROBLEMS
Journal Title: Studia z Prawa Wyznaniowego - Year 2012, Vol 15, Issue 15
Abstract
The Church Fund was established under the act of the 20th of March 1950, to acquire the property from dead hands. It had a mass of property made up of income from church property acquired by the state, from churches and from other religious associations. Today however, the Fund is financed from the state budget which in the context of the solutions adopted from other European countries is an anachronism of financing ecclesiastical institutions. In order to solve the Church Fund, it is necessary to retain the principle bilateral resulting from the article. paragraph 25. 4 and 5 of the existing Constitution and art. paragraph 22. 2 Concordat. Potentially a good example is the Italian model with appropriate changes and adapted to polish conditions. However, until a fair and comprehensive financing model of ecclesiastical institutions is put in operation in Poland the current operation of the fund should be kept because it is compensation for goods received and not taken. In addition, an attempt to develop a comprehensive financing system of ecclesiastical institutions in Poland should lead to the adoption of the corresponding legal regulations and in particular the systemic principles: respect for autonomy, independence, social justice, and cooperation for the individual and the common good
