Legal opinion on the legal status of the Institute of Philosophy and Theology of Edith Stein in Zielona Gora after the conclusion of a cooperation agreement with the Pontifical Faculty of Theology in Wroclaw on 14 May 2013.
Guidelines for conducting studies in theology
Abstract
The opinion refers to situations of one of the theological institutes run by the Catholic Church in Poland. The situation of the institute changed after the entry into force of the amendment to the Law on Higher Education made in 2011. According to the new law state universities cannot have local branches (including theological institutes). In turn, church authorities have a problem with the affiliation of theological institute to the Pontifical Faculty of Theology in Wroclaw because their decisions must be interpreted in the light of existing agreements the state – the church.
