The Church’s Temporal Goods in the Work and the Final Document Drafted by the First Synod of the Diocese of Opole

Summary/Abstract: In the article, a reflection is made on the legal regulations developed by the First Synod of the Diocese of Opole, concerning the management of temporal goods of the Diocese. The study presents the content of 17 statutes and 5 annexes (as well as considering earlier studies produced by one of the synodal working commissions, intended to be discussed by the parish synodal groups), and reflects on the completeness of the legal treatment of this vital yet complex area of ecclesiastical life. The solutions adopted by the Synod should be considered incomplete, but the synodal legislator, that is the diocesan bishop, has the right to enact such particular norms as he deems appropriate and necessary.
