ABSTRACT
The article entitled “Constitutional regulations of religious life in the Polish
People’s Republic” is an analysis of the Polish People’s Republic legislation and
its influence on religion. The first part presents eight years period before the
Constitution of 1952 was passed, when legislation relating religion developed based
on the July Manifesto and linked to regulations of the March Constitution of 1921.
Then the author focuses on discussion between authorities, Catholic episcopate
and constitutional lawyers, which directly relates to the July Constituion of 1952
regulations on religion, as well as further evolution of these regulations.
