German term

Korporationsrecht

German to English Social Sciences History Kirchengeschichte
Context is a scholarly article on the the French Revolution and the Catholic Church.

Dem schrankenlosen Souveränitätsanspruch der Nationalversammlung, der u. a. darin zum Ausdruck kam, daß gemäß der Deklaration der Menschenrechte vom 5. Oktober 1789 die Religionsfreiheit zur Disposition der öffentlichen Gewalt gestellt und mit der Zivilkonstitution vom 12. Juli 1790 schließlich die Freiheits- und *Korporationsrechte* der Kirche negiert wurden, begegnete die päpstliche Doktrin unter Verweis auf die theologisch-historische Rechtfertigung der (alten) bestehenden Gewalt.

Looking at the text of the Civil Constition leads me to think this has something to do with the rights of the Church to designate its own parishes. But what would this be called?

corporation right[s]

On 24 December 1899 the new statutes of the "Altevangelische Taufgesinnten-Gemeinde Emmental, located in Langnau," were accepted; thereby the congregation acquired corporation rights. As organs of the church they named (1) the members’ meeting; (2) the board of directors; (3) elders, preachers, and deacons. At a members’ meeting on 7 January 1903 women were given the right to vote. The chief occupation was farming in the mid-20th century; but other occupations were also represented.

There is lots of useful information here with lots of follow-on links. Perhaps something here will help you. I have to go to bed, but so far most articles do mention the loss of the ability to elect parish priests, but what the global term for that might, I have not yet discovered.

There is some mention of church corporation law and ecclesiastical corporation law, but I'm not very convinced.

This bit of info on religious corporation law might help you to get on the right track.
