Summary/Abstract: The reforms advocated by the Czartoryski’s party at the convocation sejm of 1764 included ecclesiastical matters. The disputes between Polish nobles and clergy had centuries-old tradition and concerned such issues as dimes, ecclesiastical jurisdiction over lay nobility and taxation of ecclesiastical property, as well as jurisdiction executed by the papal nuncio in Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. The article focuses on main discussions concerning those issues between 1764 and 1766. It summarizes contemporary historiographic achievements and includes analysis of some hitherto unexplored sources (e.g. advices of Tommaso Antici addressed to the Polish king), which could illustrate furthermore the atmosphere of reforms typical of the early years of Stanislaus August Poniatowski as the king of Poland.
