Uzyskanie odpustu zupełnego za publiczne odmówienie hymnu Te Deum laudamus w warunkach Górnego Śląska
Obtaining a Plenary Indulgence for Public Saying the Hymn Te Deum Laudamus in the Circumstances of Upper Silesia

Summary/Abstract: Although almost all over Poland instead of the hymn Te Deum laudamus, Ciebie, Boga wysławiamy is used, in Upper Silesia Ciebie, Boże wielbimy is performed. The aim of this article was to answer the question whether by public saying Ciebie, Boże wielbimy, it is possible to gain plenary indulgence. The research material were regulations from the decree Enchiridion Indulgentiarum, Code of Canon Law from 1983 and common law. The method used in the research was mainly a legal exegetic-dogmatic method. The results showed that for the public saying of the mentioned version of the hymn by virtue of the common law it is theoretically possible to obtain the plenary indulgence, although the practice limits this possibility to partial indulgence. The research perspective is a hymn Veni Creator Spiritus, which in Upper Silesia is also performed in a different version than in the other parts of Poland.
