The Polish National Catholic Church is similiar to the Roman Catholic Church in certain respects but different in others. Some of the differences between the denominations are that the PNCC allows its clergy to marry and that the PNCC is a democratic Church where the people own the parish property, manage its finances, and determine its future.
