Abstract
Celem artykułu jest przedstawienie genezy oraz prawnych aspektów honorowania, a także nadawania i posługiwania się papieskimi odznaczeniami w Polsce. Analizie poddano regulacje prawne ukształtowane w wyniku reform Piusa X z 1905 r., Pawła VI z 1966 r. i Jana Pawła II z 1993 r. Przepisy te zestawiono z utartą praktyką papieską, zwyczajami międzynarodowymi oraz polskim ustawodawstwem. Uznano, że obecnie ukształtowany, skomplikowany system odznaczeniowy Stolicy Apostolskiej przeszedł głęboką ewolucję. Wykładni poddano polskie przepisy rangi konstytucyjnej i ustawowej, uzależniające otrzymanie papieskich znaków zaszczytnych, jako odznaczeń zagranicznych, od uprzedniej zgody wyrażonej przez prezydenta RP. Wykazano, że obecnie, w odróżnieniu od czasów komunistycznych, polskie przepisy uznają papieski system odznaczeniowy bez żadnych wyłączeń i ograniczeń podmiotowych, przedmiotowych i funkcjonalnych.
The goal of the article is to present the origin and the legal aspects of honouring, as well as awarding and using papal decorations in Poland. It analyses the legal regulations formed as a result of the reforms implemented by Pius X in 1905, Paul VI in 1966 and John Paul II in 1993. These regulations are compared with the established papal practice, international customs and Polish legislation. It is claimed that the present complicated honours system of the Holy See has undergone a profound evolution. The Author interprets the Polish constitutional and statutory provisions, which make the receipt of papal decorations as foreign honours subject to prior consent of the President of the Republic of Poland. It has been shown that currently, contrary to the communist times, the Polish regulations recognize the papal honours' system without any subjective, objective and functional exceptions and limitations. Political practice is also favourable to papal awards, which is reflected for example by the priority of papal decorations over those from other states. Finally, the article also enumerates the most important rules of using papal honours in Poland.
