In the history of the struggle of the North American Indigenous people for the respect of their rights, the Catholic Church has always been portrayed as the one who most contributed to the violation of the fundamental rights of them, including the right to dignity and self-determination. The attitude of the governments of colonial states or the newly founded Canadian state or the United States or other Christian denominations, which supported the policy of assimilation, displacement and marginalization of the ethnic population, is almost completely ignored. In the widely held discussions in Canada and the United States, the voice of the Catholic Church which defended the indigenous people of the American continent is completely forgotten. The words of subsequent popes who demanded respect for the rights of the indigenous people, and they cut off from the policy of dehumanization are ignored, or even negated. Therefore, it is worth recalling that from the very beginning the Catholic Church, through its superior as the Pope, protested against the violation of the rights of indigenous people of North America and firmly cut off from any actions of state power aimed at assimilation of this population. In fact, it is thanks to the work of missionaries who, with the support of the Holy See, have preserved the culture, language or tradition of the Indigenous people in North America. This article reminds the forgotten voice of the popes in defense of the rights of the North American Ethnic People.

Legislation is an art. It requires a vast knowledge of the principles of law and also of the technique of legal drafting. Due to the special importance of law in the Church, a church lawgiver must try hard to do his job duly. Any critique of the outcome of his activity should be seen as an expression of sincere care for the Church. In the perspective of law drafting techniques, the paper offers an analysis of the new statute of the Pontifical University of John Paul II in Kraków, that went into force on June 8th 2015. The general conclusion is that the statue in question was made without much respect for rules of the good legislation and should be amended soon.

In Polish legal system the institution of engagement was regulated independently by both private and canon law. In the beginning, it was an institution of customary law. In foreign legal systems binding on the territory of Poland in the 19th and the first half of 20th century, the institution of engagement could be found in most of civil codes. These regulations protected the freedom of entering into marriage, however, there could be differences in terms of property effects. It wasn’t until the end of the Second World War that Poland was able to enact its own marital law, in which the institution of engagement was regulated for a few years. In canon law, for a long time there had been no common rules concerning engagement. At the beginning of 20th century requirements concerning the legal form of engagement were imposed. However, these restrictions haven’t survived until the present time.
