Pojęcie godziwego utrzymania duchownych według Kodeksu Prawa Kanonicznego z 1983 roku
The Concept of Decent Support of Clergy According to the 1983 Code of Canon Law

Summary/Abstract: The 1983 Code of Canon Law contains numerous instructions for the decent support of clergy.Decent support should be such, that it provides for the necessities of the clerics life. The concept of „necessity” should be understood both as necessitas naturae (the temporal goods without which man cannot sustain himself) as well as necessitas personae (goods without which the human person can live but not in a dignified way). Decent support includes everything that is morally necessary for the priest to properly carry out his priestly vocation: food, shelter, clothing, health care, social welfare, annual holidays, aiding parents or immediate family members, giving payment for assistance or further intellectual development.Concerning the issue of the cost of support, the code legislator sets out the general principle that it is to be „appropriate” for the clerical position he is in, and the two factors that make it possible to determine more precisely this „appropriateness”, namely: taking into account the nature of the tasks entrusted and the adjustment of the cost of remuneration to the circumstances of place and time.
