A legal-scholarship book chapter examining the Polish state's repeated refusal to register the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster, tracing the administrative and court history and the legal reasoning that a body founded to parody religious belief, rather than to profess it, does not meet the statutory definition of a religious organization under Polish law.
