The communist authority in Poland monitored events identified in the category of miracles, regardless of whether they were recognized by the Catholic Church as miracles or not. The Ministry of Public Security saw these phenomena as an active method of hostile activities on the part of the clergy.The repression of people who disseminated information about such events started at the end of 1948 started. All forms of MPS activities – creation of groups of secret informants, psychic pressure, brutal pacification meetings, arrests and questionings – were used. There were also cases of people who disseminated information about the miracles been placed in psychiatric hospitals. Preserved documents of the MPS are not proof of the truth of miracles, but they do form evidence of the destructive will by the Communists towards all expressions of religiosity.
