Termin portio populi Dei w Kodeksie Prawa Kanonicznego z 1983 roku i jego tłumaczenia na język polski i francuski
The Term Portio Populi Dei in The Code of Canon Law of 1983 and its Translation into Polish and French

Summary/Abstract: The purpose of this article is the term portio populi Dei in the Code of Canon Law of 1983 and its translation in the Codes in French and Polish. The term portio populi Dei is used in CCL/83 only eight times – in a can. 369 , 370, 371, 372, 473, 495 and 512, always in relation to a particular Church. The Polish version CCL/83 this term has been translated as część Ludu Bożego and the French translation as la portion du peuple de Dieu. In the French version, the word la portion occurs in the same context and amount as in the Latin text, while the Polish część appears in CCL/83 more often (51 times) and in different context. In the CCL/83 term portio populi Dei has been applied by the legislature only in relation to a particular Church or more accurately, the diocese (can. 369, 372, 473, 512 § 2), the territorial prelature and territorial abbey (can. 370), the vicariate apostolic, apostolic prefecture and apostolic administration (can. 371). The translation of this term into Polish as część Ludu Bożego would mean that there is one people of God, who at various locations around the world is divided into parts, which result in the dioceses or the other particular Churches. This understanding of the diocese does not match the council Vatican II or the intention of the legislature. Seems problematic, so the use of the Polish version of the Code, the term część in Latin term portio, although it is in the range of meaning. More appropriate term seems to occur in Polish, the word porcja. The article presents the inaccuracy of the translation of the adjective certa in the Polish version of the Code.
