Osoby duchowne i ich odpowiedzialność za przestępstwa seksualne w świetle prawa karnego oraz kanonicznego
Clergy and their responsibility for sexual offences under criminal and canon law

Summary/Abstract: The sexual crime of clergy is a controversial phenomenon. The Church is associated with highly developed ethical and moral norms. Until recently, it was common to believe that clergy are excluded from secular responsibility. The article presents the characteristics of criminal and canonical responsibility of clergy. An analysis of the literature indicates that the punishment received by a cleric from one legal system does not relieve or replace the punishment imposed in another system. It can even be said that the cleric is subject to double responsibility. The first under secular law and the second under canon law.
