THE EVOLUTION OF THE LEGAL STATUS OF THE ORTHODOX CHURCH IN KORCZMIN
Journal Title: Studia z Prawa Wyznaniowego - Year 2011, Vol 14, Issue 14
Abstract
Ever since its inception in 1596, the Greek Catholic Church in Poland has been compelled to alter her legal status several times. This was caused by the desire of the Orthodox Church, unable to come to terms with the loss of numerous adherents and property, to seek to incorporate the Greek Catholics back into its structure. This paper discusses the evolution of the legal status of the property held by the Greek Catholic Church, namely a historical Orthodox church in Korczmin near Tomaszow Lubelski, the Lublin region. The study has been structured into two main parts. The first covers the major facts of the evolving historical and legal aspects of the Greek Catholic Church in Poland; the other shows the outcomes of the research done on the Orthodox church in Korczmin. The authors demonstrate how the central government's decisions affected the status of the property and its owners. Further, they underscore the existing problem of failure to ultimately resolve the legal status of many immovables owned by the Greek Catholic Church, despite the twenty years that have passed since the political transformation in Poland.
