Kontrowersje wokół normatywnego podziału na osoby prawne publiczne i osoby prawne prywatne (kan. 116 KPK)

By analysing such premises as the purposes of the persons and the way they are fulfilled he proves that these criteria are of ambivalent nature. As the author believes, this results from the fact that in the canonical system the public area of the Church has its implications on the entire legal reality.
