Summary/Abstract: The solution found by the decree „Haec Sancta” was the main pawn in solving the problem within the Western Church, which arose at the end of the 14th century. Thanks to this decree, it was possible to elect a new pope, and by his election, to end the schism and to reorganise the Western church. Those who dealt with the translation of the original text of the decree „Haec Sancta” shed light, by exegesis on the text of the decree „Haec Sancta”, the origin of the council, the importance of the decree and its necessity to resolve the moment of sad remembrance of the life of the Western Church. However, the decree, has been challenged on numerous occasions, being considered only a solution of damage, and some, more critical, said that it is a heretical theory that is a reference to the constitution of the Roman Catholic Church.
