Summary/Abstract: The clergy occupy a special place among the people of God, which is why the legislator in the Code of Canon Law for this state has provided a separate catalogue of duties and rights. The ecclesiastical discipline contained in the Code, due to the specificity of particular communities, should be applied to the distinctiveness of the local Church. Specifying and adjusting the common law to local conditions is the task of the diocesan synod. This study is a comparative analysis of individual rights and duties of clergy included in the Statutes of the Third Synod of Gdańsk, in combination with individual canons regarding this issue in the current Code.
