Artykuł ukazuje relacje pomiędzy wybitnymi postaciami Kościoła katolickiego w Polsce – prymasem Stefanem kard. Wyszyńskim i kard. Bolesławem Kominkiem. Podstawą ich współpracy była troska o dobro Kościoła i narodu. Obydwaj darzyli się szacunkiem i zaufaniem, a początki ich znajomości sięgają 1930 r. Nawet wówczas, kiedy komuniści uwięzili Prymasa, listownie wymieniali poglądy i nawzajem się wspierali. Ich formalna współpraca po 1956 r. przyczyniła się m.in. do unormowania relacji polsko-niemieckich oraz kanonicznej stabilizacji administracji kościelnej na Ziemiach Zachodnich i Północnych w 1972 r.

The paper traces the history of mutual relationships between two eminent figures of the Catholic Church in Poland - the Primate card. Stefan Wyszyński and card. Bolesław Kominek, whose long-standing cooperation was built on concern for the welfare of the Church and nation. The acquaintance, dating back to 1930, was marked by great mutual esteem and confidence. Even at the time when the communists arrested the Primate, the cardinals continued to support each other and share their views in correspondence. Their formal cooperation after 1956 contributed, among others, to the normalizing of Polish – German relations and canonic stabilization of the church administration on the Recovered Territories in 1972.

The issue of Polish-German reconciliation after 1945 and the actions of both parties to reach an agreement are undoubtedly related to the activities of the Catholic Church in Poland and of Cardinal Stefan Wyszyński, who led it. Letter of Reconciliation of the Polish Bishops to the German Bishops is a symbol of forgiveness and the will to rebuild relations between the Polish and German nations. The step taken by the leaders of the Church in Poland towards the German side contributed to the normalization and, with time, of establishing mutual Polish-German relations. The aim of the work is to show the essence of the Polish bishops letter and showing the reaction of both sides to the actions taken by the church hierarchs. At work, Polish-German relations are quite fast before the publication of the Polish Orbis to German bishops, as well as the situation after the publication of the letter. The article presents the process of preparing the letter in chronological order, as well as the ideas that guided the authors of the breakthrough work. The article presents what problems after the publication of Lub, the Catholic Church in Poland and its leadership had to face. There were also shown responses to propaganda and anti-church trust in people towards the Church and Cardinal Stefan Wyszyński. The work shows how important a moment in the history of Polish-German relations is the publication of the letter of the Polish bishops, which is to become the basis for the improvement and, over time, the establishment of relations between neighbors. The work describes a topic repeatedly raised by other authors, but contains new information, developed over the years, about the essence of this important work.

Kwestia pojednania polsko-niemieckiego po 1945 roku oraz działania podejmowane przez obie strony, w celu osiągnięcia nici porozumienia, niewątpliwie powiązane są z działaniami Kościoła Katolickiego w Polsce i kierującego nim kardynała Stefana Wyszyńskiego. Orędzie biskupów polskich do biskupów niemieckich, jest symbolem przebaczenia i chęcią odbudowy relacji pomiędzy narodem polskim i niemieckim. Krok jaki wykonali zwierzchnicy Kościoła w Polsce wobec strony niemieckiej przyczynił się do unormowania, a z czasem do podjęcia wzajemnych stosunków polsko-niemieckich. Celem pracy jest ukazanie istoty Orędzia biskupów polskich oraz ukazanie reakcji obydwu stron na działania podjęte przez hierarchów kościelnych. W pracy dość szczegółowo przedstawione są relacje polsko- niemieckie przed publikacją Orędzia biskupów polskich do biskupów niemieckich, a także sytuacja po publikacji listu. Artykuł przedstawia chronologicznie proces przygotowania listu, oraz idee jakie przyświecały autorom przełomowego dzieła. Artykuł przedstawia z jakimi problemami po publikacji Orędzia musiał się zmierzyć Kościół Katolicki w Polsce i jego kierownictwo. Ukazane zostały również działania propagandowe i antykościelne, mające zniszczyć zaufanie ludzi do Kościoła i kard. Stefana Wyszyńskiego. Praca pokazuje jak ważnym momentem w dziejach relacji polsko-niemieckich jest publikacja Orędzia biskupów polskich, która to stała się podwaliną pod poprawę a z czasem także i nawiązaniem stosunków międzysąsiedzkich. Praca opisuje temat wielokrotnie poruszany przez innych autorów, lecz zawiera nowe, powstałe z biegiem lat informacje dotyczące istoty tego ważnego dzieła.

An account given by Rev. Andrzej Dziełak is one of over a dozen such narratives written down for a scientific conference “Cardinal Kominek – a forerunner of the Polish-German reconciliation” which was organized by The Memory and Future Institute (Wrocław, 4th December 2008). These conference documents give us insight into circumstances and consequences of the Polish bishops addressing the German bishops. In some parts, these documents are focused in the narrative of Rev. Andrzej Dziełak, who in 1965 was a clerical student in the Higher Seminary in Wrocław. For contemporary clerics Cardinal Kominek was an indisputable authority, both moral and intellectual. Every Saturday during a seminary meeting he would share with them his observations on the situation of the Catholic Church in those days in Poland and abroad, and on complex relations with the communist state. Still, the Pastoral Letter of the Polish bishops to the German bishops turned out to be a huge surprise to the Catholic clergy of Wrocław, especially since at the beginning they did not have the text of the document at their disposal. Rev. Dziełak admits that at the beginning the message conveyed in the Letter was received with reluctance by a great part of the congregation. This was due to the recent war and a successful propaganda of the communist government. However, right from the beginning, clerics had no doubts as to the identity of the author of the groundbreaking document – they knew that it was prepared by a bishop of Wrocław who was the most knowledgeable person in the Episcopate regarding German issues.

The aim of the article is to present the profile of Bolesław Kominek, who played a significant role in the work of the Conference of the Polish Episcopate and its specialist committees. Formally, since 1954 he was a member of ECP, but participated in meetings since the end of 1956. The research problem is to characterise his activity, which included several areas of action: the preparation of pastoral letters, addresses and pastoral words; participation in the formation of relations with the authorities of the Polish People’s Republic; contribution to regulating the status of the Catholic Church in the Western and Northern Lands; study work related to the reorganization of the structures of the Polish ecclesial administration; contacts with the Holy See; episcopal conferences and participation in Vatican gatherings. An important part of his engagement at the Episcopal Conference of Poland was work in specialist committees. During his twenty years of ministry, Bishop Bolesław Kominek was a member of the following bodies: The Pastoral Commission/General Pastoral Ministry of the Episcopate of Poland – President from 1958 to 1974; Commission Iustitia et Pax of the Episcopate of Poland – ecclesial assistant and chairman from 1968 to 1974; Commission for the Church in the Western and Northern Lands of the Episcopate of Poland – President from 1970 to 1972; Commission for Christian Charity/Charitable Ministry of the Episcopate of Poland – member from 1958 to 1967; the Marian Committee of the Episcopate of Poland – member from 1958 to 1974; Polish Episcopal Council Commission – member from 1963 to 1970. The author puts forward the hypothesis that the activity of the Wrocław hierarch, rich in many initiatives, not only shows the scope of his pastoral engagement, but allows to discover the depth of Bishop Kominek’s vision of the Church, better assess his impact on post-war ecclesial reality and appreciate the role of the spokesperson of Polishness in Western and Northern Lands. The text is based on unpublished archival materials and on the basis of the literature of the subject.

Bolesław Kominek played a considerable role in the work of the Polish Bishops’ Conference (KEP) and its special committees. He had been a formal member of the KEP since 1954, but in practice he had participated in its sessions since 1956. From 1958 he had been a member of the Main Committee of the Polish Episcopate. His activity embraced several areas: preparing pastoral letters, addresses and messages; involvement in establishing relations with the Polish government (under the Communist regime); contributions to regulating the status of the Catholic Church in the western and northern parts of Poland; academic work pertaining to the reorganization of the structures of the Polish church administration; contacts with the Holy See, other bishops’ conferences and Vatican organizations. A major area of his activity on the forum of the Polish Bishops’ Conference was his work in special committees. In the period of twenty years of his service as a bishop, Bolesław Kominek had been a member of the following committees: General Pastoral Committee of the Polish Episcopate – chairman in 1968-1974; Iustitia et Pax Committee of the Polish Episcopate – assistant and chairman in 1968-1974; Committee on the Church in the Western and Northern Parts of Poland of the Polish Episcopate – chairman in 1970-1972; Committee for Pastoral Charity of the Polish Episcopate – member in 1958-1967; Marian Committee of the Polish Episcopate – member in 1958-1974; Council Committee of the Polish Episcopate – member in 1963-1970. This dedicated and creative activity of the Bishop of Wrocław shows not only the scope of his pastoral involvement, but also helps to discover the depth of his original vision of the Church, to better evaluate his impact on the ecclesial reality after the war, and to appreciate his role as a spokesman for the Western and Northern parts of Poland.
