Preparations for the Second Vatican Council as Seen by Polish DiplomatsA presentation of the way in which the staff of the Polish Embassy in Rome observed preparations for the Second Vatican Council in 1958–1962. The text belongs to a current of research analysing the attitude of the communists towards the Catholic Church and relations between communist states and the Vatican. The author provides information about diplomats who obtained data concerning the Apostolic See and the titular preparations as well as their chief informers. He also indicated the cooperation between Polish diplomats and those of other communist countries regarding information exchange, joint policies vis a vis the See, and the participation in the Council of bishops from various member–countries of the Soviet sphere of influence. The article is based predominantly on material produced by the diplomatic service: dispatches, notes, reports, and analyses by the staff of the Embassy of the People’s Republic of Poland in Rome.
