Abstract

The Second Vatican Council raised the status of the lay Christian faithful by organizing their participation in the common priesthood of the faithful. Taking these indications, the conciliar legislation and decrees of the Bishops’ Conference of Poland admitted the laity to liturgical ministries: lay people can be admitted on a stable basis to the ministries of lector, acolyte and extraordinary ministry of Holy Communion. Performing cited ministries in decrees of the Bishops’ Conference of Poland is granted only to men.
