abstract
Doc. JUDr. Vladimír Kindl presented an article “Legal Recognition and Registration (A Short Comparison of Historic and Present Form of Legalization of Church and Religious Society in the Territory of the CR)”. He deals with the situation of Czech ecclesiastic law after November 1989. He states that its core is created by a peculiar combination of laws from 1949, 1991 and 1992. This situation offers an opportunity to compare the present legislation and conception of state ecclesiastic law which had worked for a long time originally in Austria and after 1918 in Czechoslovakia. Present legislation, in contrast to the history, provides a single way of legalization of church and religious society – registration provided by the Ministry of Culture. Registration is an administrative procedure and it follows administrative rules unless there is a law to the contrary. A fundamental precondition of filing an application for registration is evidence of the fact that a given number of adults avow the church or religious society. It is 500 people if the church or religious society is a member of the World Council of Churches and 10,000 people if it is not. The author discusses critically this discriminatory criterion as well as the conditions under which those who “avow” are recognized as proven and also other aspects of positive religious law.
