1 . 1. . 70-74. 272 (476) . . , ) XX . The problems of teaching Scripture and the language of divine service in the Roman Catholic Church at the beginning of XX century in Belarus. The author concludes that the basic document, which concerns the changes of tsarist government in and around public religious policy with respect to the Roman Catholic Church, was the addict of Nicholai II “About the strengthening of religious toleration`s bases”, the 17th of April, 1905. Though, the edict retained some contradictions, and among them is the following one: which language is considered to be native for church members and which is the language of divine service. This problem is analyzed on source foundation from the National Historical Archive in Grodno and the National Historical Archive in Minsk. , XX XX . . , , , 17 » , II « 1905 . , , , . . . , , : , . , , , , , , .
