Summary/Abstract: In his article, the author focuses on the legal handbook of the former bishop of Paderborn Konrad Martin “Catechism of Roman Catholic Church Law” (1875). Bishop Martin defends (in the middle of Bismarck’s Germany) the thesis about the inalienable right of the church to its own unrestricted activity without the intervention of state authorities. His conciliatory view of the relationship of the Catholic Church to religious societies separated from it was rather rare at the time.
