Tytuł kościoła. Refleksja kanonistyczno-liturgiczna
Adamczyk, Jerzy (Redakcja Wydawnictw Wydziału Teologicznego Uniwersytetu Opolskiego, 2024)
This article deals with the title of a church from a canonical-liturgical point of view. The custom of giving churches a title dates back to Christian antiquity. From the fourth century onwards, when consecrating churches, they were given a special title, thereby placing them under the special protection of some saint or the Saviour himself. The ecclesiastical legislator attaching great importance to the title of a church stipulates that “every church should have a title which, after the consecration of the church, cannot be changed”. Churches may have as their title the Blessed Trinity, Jesus Christ, the Holy Spirit, the Blessed Virgin Mary, the Angels, the Saint. Without the approval of the Holy See, a church may not be given the title of a blessed whose celebration is not yet legally recorded in the diocesan calendar. In certain situations, however, the title of a church may be changed, with the consent of the Holy See. Also, when merging and abolishing parishes, the new parish may have a different title from the parish church.
