Do the views of a religious organization about its relations with a state should be present in the law about the organization?

Summary/Abstract: Usually, the religious organizations have their own views about their relations with a state which are the consequence of dogmatic beliefs. It seems, that there is afull spectrum of the views, e.g., the Lutheran concept represents submission to the state, catholic requires autonomy and independence of the state and the Church, and Muslim concept prefers supremacy of the Islam over the state. In Poland, there are 15 Churches and other religious organizations which have individual laws that regulate their relations with the Polish state. The question is: Do the religious organizations, having the right to co-decision about the regulation in question, have also the right to implement in the law their views about the relation with a state? Or rather only the state has an exclusive right to shape the scheme of the relations? The author discussed some arguments using scholastic method sic et non. The final answer to the question is negative – creating modus of relations belongs only to the imperium of the state.
