Resolving The Financial Position Of The Serbian Orthodox Church Clergy In The Kingdom Of Scs-Yugoslavia Before The Adoption Of The Church Constitution

Summary/Abstract: Complex and important issue of resolving the financial position of the Serbian Orthodox Church clergy in the new state has been presented. Starting with the great sacrifices endured during the war and the credit for contribution to the goals of the Serbian leadership, the Episcopate and clergy unanimously came forward with a request for solving the issue by adoption of an appropriate law. A number of texts had been submitted, but they were not adopted because of the political stance of necessity of compliance with the earlier reached agreements and constitutional provisions of equality of the recognized and adopted confessions. Recognizing the difficult financial position of clergy and adhering to the commitment that the adopted standards apply to all, the Regulation on the additions to the high cost was adopted, which provided basic social security to all the priests and religious officials. Precisely determining the awards for Orthodox priests for performed religious ceremonies, the state sent, through the new regulation, a clear message that it did not intend to give up control of the Serbian Orthodox Church and that it would apply the standards and procedures that were not designed for other confessions.
