Summary/Abstract: Over the time, neither the less were the problems that regarded whom might be the owners of a Church property, which lead to many theories such as: an angel, the poor, the Church community, the State, the Church, the Pope and the private person. Regarding to the private person, some authors sustain, that the roman-christian legislation had found enough evidence, that could allow us to admit them as subjects of the church’s right and even of the private person. In the Oriental civic legislation the private person could built or contributing at the conservation or edification of an religious building, but those buildings ounce they were built, they were built, they entered in the possession of the Church. The private chapels or any other religious buildings, built on the private property, were not considered as the Church’s possessions but only as private places for praying. In steed, in the West, the right of the private person to posses church belonging’s was admitted by the Church and by the State. Never the Less this theory didn’t’ had continuity, because it was considered Church’s belongings those things which were in the property of juridical Church person.
