Summary/Abstract: Church censorship has had a long tradition and reached the first centuries of Christianity and oneof its forms, a previous censorship, has functioned in a Catholic church since modernity. A Code of a CanonicLaw standardized the principles of text control and procedures of awarding imprimaturs in theinterwar period. The very principles defined, apart from the subject and object of censorship, specific tipsfor publishers aiming at getting an approval of church authorities to publish a book. The work shows theextent to which a church censorship influenced a publishing plan and the process of production of theCatholic Bookshop and Printing House, one of the dioceses in Upper Silesia.
