Kryteria oceny kościelnych aktów administracyjnych pod względem merytorycznym

Abstract

The value of an administrative act consists in agreement between the aim to which the act should tend by its nature, and its function in a concrete, actual situation. The appraisal of the value of an administrative act refers then to its usefulness, the need of it or its necessity for realizing the public good. By the public good in the Church community, the spiritual good of the faithfull or the good of souls (bonum animarum) should be understood. The article was devided into two parts: „The aim of the administrative authority in the Church” (I) and „Discretionality of the administrative authority in the Church” (II). In the course of considerations these elements have been stressed, which play the role of criteria allowing the judgement if a certain administrative act is essentially proper.
