Abstract

The relationship between Polish Calvinists and Catholic religious congregations in the 16th  and the first half of the 17th century was featured in this article. And among many representatives of Helvetic Confession in the Commonwealth three authors were chosen, who broached this subject in their pieces of work both in a comprehensive and insightful way. Religious congregations were unquestionably a matter of interest from Polish Calvinists. It was proved that they also knew the canonical process by which new congregations were approved in the Church. Both fundamental theological and social issues, which were associated with congregations and the way they were run, came usually under heavy criticism but not deprived of valid theological arguments.

Keywords:
