The right of legislative initiative is a widely recognized prerogative that entitles the users of law to make a legislating body undertake certain action connected with the content of a new law. The article presents the problem of legislative initiative in the perspective of the Catholic Church. The main conclusion flowing from the deliberations is as follows: the right in question has its place in church regulations and in life of the community of believers, but its range and the way of realization are specific to the Catholic Church.
