Cardinal Stefan Wyszyński in Front of Union of Soviet Socialist Republics

Journal Title: Kościół i Prawo - Year 2018, Vol 7, Issue 1

Abstract

The aim of the article was to present the reflection of Cardinal S. Wyszyński on the subject of the communist system in the USSR, because he effectively exposed the socialist and communist reality of this totalitarian system. In this connection, the most important publications on socialism and communism were shown. Then an assessment of this system of power was presented, which in the Primate’s opinion was a threat to the civilization built on Christian foundations. It was later shown that in difficult years of forced and widespread atheization carried out brutally in the USSR, the Polish Cardinal heroically supported the Church there, kept in touch with the laity and the clergy and even he was ordained the priests and bishop. Among the clerics working in the USSR, mostly in secrecy, he was considered and respected as their Head of the Church.
