Abstract
The Concordat between the Holy See and the Republic of Poland was signed on 28 July 1993 and ratified on 23 February 1998. This international agreement confirmed and specified the principles proclaimed at the Second Vatican Council: 1) the principle of autonomy and independence of the Church from the State; 2) the principle of cooperation between the Church and the State; 3) the principle of religious freedom. The Concordat regulates among others the following matters: recognition of the legal personality of the Catholic Church and its organizational units, the Church’s discretion in making changes in its territorial structure; protection of marriage and family, and in particular recognition of the civil consequences of a marriage concluded according to the canonical form, and the cooperation of the state and the Church in matters of marriage and family.
