Konkordat jako element polskiego systemu prawa wyznaniowego
Concordat as an element of the Polish religious law system

Summary/Abstract: The concordat defines the scope of cooperation between the state and the Catholic Church for the good of the human person and the good of society at international level. The signing of the Concordat in 1993 was preceded by long negotiations conducted by two independent legal entities – the Holy See and the Polish State. Concordat norms detail the basic human rights already guaranteed in multilateral international agreements, e.g. in the Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms, ratified by Poland on December 15, 1992 (Articles 9 and 14). In general, the subject of the concordat agreement is all matters of church life in its institutional and individual dimension. The purpose of the article is therefore to approximate the scope of the concordat agreement in force in Poland since 1998, as well as to place it in the Polish legal system.
