Próby uregulowania stanu prawnego Kościoła katolickiego w Drugiej Rzeczpospolitej w latach 1919–1925

Abstract

The year 1918 has restored freedom not only to the Polish society, which through 123 years was persecuted by the partitioners, but also to the Catholic Church, towards which the partitioner states had a negative attitude. The situation has changed after the recuperation of independence. Since then the Catholic Church encompassed most of the society. This situation ought to be regulated by the state with respect to law, and so it happened in the March Constitution (1921), especially in the article 114, which speaks of an accord between the Polish state and the Catholic Church by means of an international treaty. This article constituted a foundation for signing a concordat (1925).
