The judicial power of the Church as any authority in the Church always tries to build good of the believers. It expresses a principle derived from the Code of Canon Law: Salus animarum suprema lex, which means that the most important task for the Church is the salvation of man. An expression of this principle are marriage processes which can declare the nullity of the marriage. The judge has a very important place in the Church’s justice system. It is the duty of the judge to look after justice and peace in the community of Godʼs people. Justice is a virtue which the judge ought to demand also from himself. Therefore, he should permanently improve moral precepts in himself. He ought to develop good manners and everything which can influence the realization of the principle of justice. Ecclesiastical courts confirm that for many litigating parties in marriage cases, proceedings concerning cases of nullity of marriage, have a practical purpose, which is to regulate life in a new marriage. But we cannot forget that the primary purpose of marriage process is to know the truth about marriage. Therefore, judicial power, which judges or judicial colleges possess, must be exercised in the manner prescribed by law, and it is important to judge fills all the steps in the canonical process of declaration of nullity of marriage carefully and with due observance of the law.

Catholic Church instructs, that „a marriage that is ratum et consummatum can be dissolved by no human power and by no cause, except death” (Can. 1141). However there are some cases, when marriage has not come into being from its start. Church tribunals lead investigations in such cases to show the truth about the marriage. Canon 1095 gives three conditions that would make a person unable to contract marriage from mental incapacity: “They are incapable of contracting marriage: 1o who lack the sufficient use of reason; 2o who suffer from grave lack of discretion of judgment concerning essential matrimonial rights and duties which are to be mutually given and accepted; 3o who are not capable of assuming the essential obligations of matrimony due to causes of a psychic nature”. Regarding the use of reason, the Church is saying that a person must have sufficient development of their faculties of intellect and will to be able to judge and to will a truly human act. This is the most basic level of intellectual maturity, but one not found in small children, or in adults who suffer from conditions which affect their powers of reasoning. It takes a pretty grave permanent or transitory condition, however, such as schizophrenia, or alcoholic stupor, to invalidate marriage for lack of reason. The article aims at presenting a reason for invalidity of marriage which is lack of sufficient use of reason as exemplified by the diocesan tribunal of Elk.

The person of Henryk Przeździecki, the first bishop of the restored Diocese of Podlachia (i.e. Siedlce) is worth reminding in the 200-th aniversary of the foundation of the Diocese, due to his enormous services for the Church in Poland. The paper is divided into four parts. The first part is devoted to the biography of the bishop, and the second concentrates on the bishop’s activity related to the organisation and management of the diocese and as a member of the Episcopate of Poland. The third part presents an outline of the central institutions of the diocese organized by bishop Henryk Przeździecki. The last part focuses on the problem of Neo-Union in the Diocese of Siedlce.

The issue of personnel changes in the administration and judiciary of the Kuy­avia-Kalisz Diocese between 1918 and 1925 was determined by several fac­tors. First of all, there were changes in the church legislation. The new Code of Canon Law, which came into force in 1918, separated the administrative and judicial authorities. It was then that the Bishop of Kuyavia and Kalisz estab­lished the Bishop’s Curia in Włocławek to handle administrative matters, and the General Tribunal in Włocławek and the Auxiliary Tribunal in Częstochowa and Kalisz to handle court cases. He established the General Vicariate of Wlo­clawek, the Officiality of Kalisz became the Vicariate, and the Officiality of Piotrków was renamed to the Vicariate of Częstochowa. The Vicar General for the whole diocese, which was also an auxiliary bishop, resided in Włocławek. Moreover, in the capital of the diocese, Rev. S. Chodyński, to whom the Vicar­iate of Włocławek was subordinate, was also a judicial vicar of the Włocławek Tribunal. The adjutant judicial vicar of this Court was Bishop W. S. Owczarek, who then took the office of judicial vicar. Bishop W. P. Krynicki became the Vicar General and the adjutant judicial vicar of the Częstochowa Tribunal, while Rev. J. N. Sobczyński was the Vicar General and the adjutant judicial vicar of the Kalisz Tribunal. It should be noted that the Curia employed a chan­cellor, consultants, counsellors, secretaries, a treasurer, an archivist, architects, members of various commissions, censors of religious books and catechesis visitors. The clergymen holding the above positions also worked in court, and most of them constituted an elite among the clergy, well educated in foreign universities. The diocesan authority appreciated their commitment, which was reflected in the ecclesiastical positions they were given. This composition of the staff changed in 1925, when the Kuyavia-Kalisz Diocese lost the Często­chowa Vicariate to a newly established diocese.

Problematyka zmian personalnych w administracji i sądownictwie diecezji kujawsko-kaliskiej w latach 1918-1925, była uwarunkowana kilkoma czyn­nikami. Przede wszyskim doszło do zmian w prawodawstwie kościelnym. Nowy Kodeks Prawa Kanonicznego, który zaczął obowiązywać w 1918 r. od­dzielał władzę administracyjną od sądowniczej. W tymże roku biskup kujaw­sko-kaliski ustanowił Kurię Biskupią we Włocławku dla prowadzenia spraw administracyjnych, zaś dla prowadzenia spraw sądowych ustanowił Trybu­nał Generalny we Włocławsku oraz Trybunał Pomocniczy w Częstochowie i Kaliszu. W miejsce dawnego oficjalatu włocławskiego ustanowił wikariat generalny włocławski, oficjalat kaliski został wikariatem, zaś oficjalat piotr­kowski przemianował na wikariat częstochowski. We Włocławku rezydował wikariusz generalny dla całej diecezji, którym był biskup pomocniczy. Nadto w stolicy diecezji urzędował ks. S. Chodyński, któremu podlegał wikariat wło­cławski, był jednocześnie oficjałem Trybunału Włocławskiego. Wiceoficjałem tegoż Trybunału był bp W.S. Owczarek, który następnie objął urząd oficjała. Z kolei wikariuszem generalnym i wiceoficjałem w Trybunale Częstochow­skim został bp W.P. Krynicki, zaś wikariuszem generalnym i wiceoficjałem w Trybunale Kaliskim był ks. J.N. Sobczyński. Należy zauważyć, że w kurii byli zatrudnieni kanclerz, konsultorzy, radcowie, sekretarze, skarbnik, archiwa­riusz, architekci, członkowie różnych komisji, cenzorzy ksiąg religijnych i wi­zytatorzy nauki religii. Piastujący powyższe stanowiska duchowni pracowali również w sądzie, a większość z nich stanowiła elitę duchowieństwa, które było wykształcone w zagranicznych uczelniach. Władza diecezjalna doceniała ich zaangażowanie, czego wyrazem były nadawane im godności kościelne. Wielu z nich parało się pracą naukową. Ten skład obsady personalnej uległ zmianie w 1925 r., kiedy diecezja kujawsko-kaliska utraciła wikariat częstochowski na rzecz nowo utworzonej diecezji.
