Art. 101 Constitution of the Canton of Obwalden (Cantonal Constitution, KV) (Kantonsverfassung, KV) - Continuation

1. The Catholic members of the local municipality form the Catholic parish. By resolution of a denominational municipal assembly or by law, an independent Catholic parish may be constituted with its own parish council. Property law disputes arising from such independence between the local municipality and the parish are to be decided by the administrative court.

2. The existing Evangelical Reformed parish is recognized as a public-law entity. Subject to the approval of the Cantonal Council, additional Evangelical Reformed parishes may be established.

3. To represent themselves collectively externally, to regulate common matters, and to achieve an appropriate financial equalization, parishes of each denomination may form a parish association.
