Church property in Poland: privileges, law and economy

This study provides a thorough analysis of the economic and legal foundations of the Church's material power in Poland. The authors detail mechanisms such as 99% discounts on land purchases, the functioning of the Church Fund, and specific tax breaks that create market asymmetry. The text goes beyond a dry analysis of regulations, touching on the psychology of ownership and the impact of the ubiquity of religious institutions on citizens' perceptions of the state. In the face of growing polarization, the article proposes specific legislative paths and European models that could ensure greater financial transparency and social justice. This is a key voice in the debate on the need to amend laws regulating state-Church relations in the economic sphere.
