Freedom of religion in the Polish Constitution of 1921 as viewed through the prism of State-Church relations in Poland à travers de siècles

Abstract

The historical evolution of the relations between religious confessions and political power in Poland, starting from the Middle Ages and with particular regard to Catholicism, is the focus of this paper. The periods of greatest difficulty are identified, especially at the time of the Russian expansion and in the relationship with the Orthodox Church, but also with regard to Protestantism.
