Lud Boży zjednoczony chrztem, tworzy sakrament wewnętrznej jedności człowieka z Bogiem, a także wspólnoty ludzi między sobą (por. KKK 775). W teologii chrześcijańskiej również Kościołem określa się wspólnotę ludzi wierzących bez względu na narodowość. Istnieją jednak narody bardziej związane z Kościołem niż inne grupy etniczne. Narodem tym są Po- lacy. W czasach, gdy nie było państwa, naród trwał w jedności dzięki wspornikowi, którym był Kościół. I dziś Kościół pozostaje gwarantem spójności i jedności narodu. Polacy rozsiani poza granicami ojczyzny dzięki misji Kościoła nadal trwają przy swoich korzeniach narodowych.

Andrzej Friszke Strategic interaction: The PRL Government, Solidarity, the Church, and the problem of political prisoners Strategiczna interakcja. Rząd PRL, Solidarność, Kościół i problem więźniów politycznych Abstract: This study of the struggle between the government of the Polish People’s Republic and Solidarity in the years 1981-1984 discerns three key ac- tors in Polish politics: the Communist party leadership and security apparatus, the arrested leaders of Solidarity, and the bishops and advisers of the Catholic Church. The PRL government made strategic decisions in this period regard- ing repression and liberalization. Following initial advanced preparation for the trial of eleven arrested leaders of Solidarity and KSS KOR, the govern- ment attempted to coerce the arrestees into leaving Poland, thus weaken- ing the movement’s legitimacy. The article demonstrates how the interaction between the leaders of the two sides – mediated by bishops and advisers – produced a new dynamic and a shift in the existing political mechanism. What was once a mass movement transformed into a more regular, staffed organization with a greater role played by leaders, who symbolized the con- tinuity of the movement and enabled Solidarity to weather the period of re- pression. The article shows the changes and tensions in the Solidarity move- ment, along with the changes that were occurring in parallel on the side of the government and the mediating third actor, i.e., the Catholic Church.

The objective required finding and determining the following: (1) factors in the establishment of shrines in Poland during this time; (2) factors in the development of shrines with reference to the transformation of religious worship and to the influence of political factors in Poland; (3) changes in pilgrimage traditions in Poland, and (4) changes in the number of pilgrimages to selected shrines. These changes were determined by archive and library research. Additionally, field studies were performed at more than 300 shrines, including observations and in-depth interviews with custodians. Descriptive–analytical, dynamic–comparative and cartographic presentation methods were used to analyze results.

Particularly in- spiring was the Second Vatican Council (1962 –1965), the documents of which recommended the adjusted renewal (acomodata renovatio) and the moderni- zation (aggiornamento) of both the universal Church and particular Churches. Two post-conciliar projects of the reorganization of the Church structures are the example of theoretical solutions. The first of them – issued in 1967 – has the form of a study consisting of several dozens of pages. The second project – generated in 1970 – is a proposal consisting of two pages. They are preceded by a short outline of the post-war history of the units of the Church administra- tion in Poland. 1. The organizational structure of the Catholic Church in Poland after WWII (until the Second Vatican Council) The Catholic Church in Poland after WWII had to face many organi- zational, or even existential, problems.

RYSZARD FICEK, The Diocese of Rockville Centre: Rockville Centre, NY, US ORCID: 0000-0001-5238-6767 [email protected] PASTORAL MINISTRY OF CARDINAL STEFAN WYSZYŃSKI AND THE REALITY OF THE PEOPLES’ REPUBLIC OF POLAND: A PRAGMATISM OF RESISTANCE (1956-1970) ABSTRACT: This publication analyzes the specificity of the denominational policy of the communist state in the period 1956-1970 through the prism of the pastoral ministry of Cardinal Stefan Wyszyński, the Primate of Poland. The main research goal of the article is, therefore, to expose the “post-Stalinist” stage of the history of the Church in the context of the then socio-political situation in Poland, dominated by the rule of Władysław Gomułka’s regime. The exploration of the research topic will be based on the analysis of source texts and studies using the historical method to reconstruct historical facts and their reinterpretation using the inductive-deductive method. Interpretation of source materials focuses on showing the role and significance not only for understanding that period of history characterized by the struggle of Cardinal Wyszyński with the atheistic state of „real socialism”, which – as a totalitarian system – used all possible means – both party and administrative – to fight with the Church and the Nation rooted in the thousand-year Christian tradition. An essential goal of this publication is to present the vital components of the teaching and pastoral ministry of the Primate of the Millennium, also relevant for shaping the contemporary reality of the Church, civil society, nation, and state.

  • Spring in Summer Strikes, Austerity and Solidarity in Poland (July – August 1980)
    Spring in Summer Strikes, Austerity and Solidarity in Poland (July – August 1980) Graham Harris School of History, University of East Anglia Degree of Doctor of Philosophy September 2015 This copy of the thesis has been supplied on condition that anyone who consults it is understood to recognise that its copyright rests with the author and that use of any information derived there from must be in accordance with current UK Copyright Law. In addition, any quotation or extract must include full attribution. ABSTRACT This thesis provides a new account of the strikes in Poland between July and August 1980 that led to the formation of Solidarność (Solidarity), the first ‘independent, self-governing trade union’ to exist under Communism. Although primarily focussed on the role of civil resistance in Poland, as the first stand-alone account of the strikes to appear in English since the mid-1980s, this thesis has a number of innovations. Firstly, it provides a day-by-day account of the August strikes which seeks to emphasise the immediacy, uncertainty and complexity of events from the perspective of both domestic and international actors. Secondly, with the existing literature dominated by the superpower responses, it integrates Eastern Bloc and West European responses into events. Thirdly, the previously unexplored role of Poland’s negotiations with Western commercial banks during the summer is also discussed. These along with Poland’s economic ‘crisis’ are seen as being of equal importance to the non-violent ‘breakthrough’ achieved by Polish workers in shaping the outcome of events. 2 CONTENTS Abstract … p.2 Contents … p.3 Acknowledgements … p.5 1.

However, they do not agree on the nature of its significance. Some have argued that the Church played the role of mediator between state authorities and society and thereby helped to stabilise the relationship between the two. Others have claimed that Polish Catholicism was itself a form of political opposition which helped to undermine the Communist regime. Despite its importance, relatively little has been written in English about the political role of the Polish Catholic Church under Martial Law. More has been written on this topic in Polish, but much of the Polish literature is hagiographical in nature. Therefore, this project explores various aspects of the political role of the Catholic Church and demonstrates that it was both a stabilising and a resistant force in Polish politics. 1 Declaration: This work contains no material which has been accepted for the award of any other degree or diploma in any university or other tertiary institution to Jessica Jocher and, to the best of my knowledge and belief, contains no material previously published or written by another person, except where due reference has been made in the text.

  • Poland's Church on the Road to Gdansk
    Poland's Church on the Road to Gdansk ALEXANDER TOMSKY Polish defIance is as strong today as in 1920 when under General Pitsudski a few badly equipped men won an astounding victory over the Bolshevik army. Today, 60 years later, the memory of this battle, known as "the miracle on the Vistula", survives in the popular mind and is cherished by those who are working for the revival of the Polish nation. The courage shown last summer by the unarmed strikers in the Gdansk shipyards was perhaps even greater than that of Pitsudski's soldiers, for the strikers' enemy was within the gates. They faced the police, the militia, an army of informers and Soviet soldiers inside and outside Poland's borders. The strike leaders no doubt remembered their predecessors who organized the strikes on the Baltic coast ten years earlier, and how one by one they later disappeared in suspicious circumstances. Their courage cannot be ,explained by economic factors-the worsening supply of meat and other basic com­ modities-but was due to their sense of personal dignity, and to a spiritual hope that has survived in Poland. If today in Poland the Communist Party is forced to relax its grip on sOGiety by the organized pressure of free trade unions and public opinion, this will be due in large measure to the survival and growth of the Church, for I would venture to suggest that the degree of freedom won by people in a totalitarian State is in direct proportion to the degree to which that country is Christian.
