Zmiany w instytucji zawarcia małżeństwa cywilnego w formie kanonicznej

The presented draft is focused on the analysis of importance of changes made by the law on marital status acts in the range of regulations that are applicable to the so-called concordat marriages. Modifications that are related to digitalization of marital status act provide two-dimensional benefits. On the one hand, the marital status administration works more efficiently by carrying out public tasks defined by the normative procedure of making a civil marriage in a canonical form. On the other hand, computerization facilitates the process of handling prospective spouses. The administrative and legal changes made by the new act do not meet the standards of good legislation, both in terms of content and editorial-technical aspects. The greatest controversy is aroused by imprecise control on the meeting of two legal systems: state and canonic. Instead of ensuring effective cooperation of marital status administration with Church administration for the good of a marriage, the legislator has created space for doubts of interpretation and diverse practices in parish and marital status offices. Canonic and legal changes refer to a list of clerical position that carry out public tasks at the stage of marriage. The reconstruction of the canonic nomenclature should be adopted with approval, especially the clarification of the concept of a local diocesan, and the separation of two directories of church positions being assigned properly to clergymen authorized to receive declarations of marriage and make certificates that constitute the basis of their registration.
