Rejestrowanie kościołów i innych związków wyznaniowych w trybie administracyjnym

The aim of this article is to analyse the administrative procedure of registration of churches and other religious organizations. This text considers both material and procedural aspects of the registration. Respective regulations are spelt out in the context of the Constitution of the Republic of Poland of 2 April 1997. It is shown that the procedural standard is very high and there is no need to change it. Some problems are created by vagueness of certain substantive legal provisions. The purpose of this paper is to present existing difficulties with an explanation of legal provisions and to draw concrete proposals for appropriate interpretation thereof.
