The study presents a sociological analysis of the institutional crisis of faith in the context of the Catholic Church. It refers to the systemic perspective and features of autopoietism that have been taken from the work of Niklas Luhmann. Changes and crises are a permanent part of the functioning of any social system, including Church institutions in particular. This is clearly seen in the perspective of the crises and counter-jurisdictions that have occurred over the years and the Church’s activities. In general, self-referential social systems have self-referential capabilities that adequately place their activities in the environment. As a result of the collapse of traditional societies and the progressive individualization of religiousness, the importance of the Church has been confirmed by the social system.

The paper attempts to present the leading objectives and motives of the ‘Church’s policy of memory’ before and after 1989. The author states that, like many other institutions of public life, the Catholic Church implements its own policy to shape the collective memory of Poles, both in terms of legitimization and content. At the time of the Polish People’s Republic, the first and foremost objective of the ‘Church’s memory policy’ was to counteract the activities of the communist authorities, which were carrying out a project to restrict the Church’s influence to the narrowly understood field of the priesthood and which ultimately aimed at the atheization of Polish society. The emphasis on the historical symbiosis of Polishness and Catholicism served the purpose of defending the traditional form of Polish religiousness and providing the Church with social support in the struggle to maintain the public dimension of its influence. Despite the change in language, the present objective of the Church’s historical narration appears similar: to oppose these aspects of secularization trends that drive the Church away from public space and so intensifying the phenomenon of the privatization of faith. Whether in the past or present, the Church’s vision of the past is to secure its own stability as an institution and retain the role of a significant factor contributing to the national and state conscience of Poles.

In this article, the author presents the history of repressions organized by the Soviet authorities towards the Roman Catholic Church (1917–1938) with special attention given to the process of liquidation of the Roman Catholic Clergy of the Latin rite.

The article concerns political concepts of Bolesław Piasecki – the leader of the PAX. The PAX was the organization of Catholics supporting the Communist regime. Piasecki was trying to reconcile Catholicism and communism. It resulted in the conflict with the Catholic Church. The communist authorities while using the PAX as a war tool in a battle with the Catholic Church, did not trust Piasecki. This resulted in the PAX and Piasecki being under permanent surveillance of secret police. The PAX did not grow in importance until after 1956 when, Władysław Gomułka had come into power. Gomułka allowed development of the PAX structures throughout the country. At the same time he criticized the ideology of the association.

The social teaching of the Catholic Church is a doctrine on matters of poverty and wealth, economics, social organization and the role of the state. The principles of Catholic social teaching are: human dignity, love, truth, freedom, justice, solidarity, subsidiarity, participation, preferential option for the poor and vulnerable, dignity of work and the rights of workers and care for God’s creation. Several organs of the Holy See are dedicated to social issues, among others the Pontifical Council for Justice and Peace. Although blessed with a wealth of natural resources, Africa is the poorest continent. Poverty is understood in many different ways, but most commonly it is described as an economic condition where one lacks both money and the basic necessities that are needed to successfully survive. Many people in Africa still live in abject poverty because of bad governance, corruption and human irresponsibility. Many Africans are also victims of diseases such as AIDS and malaria. In this situation the Catholic Church can play a critical role by advocating for economic justice and eradication of poverty from Africa. The Catholic Church in Africa, which calls herself the Family of God, undertakes many actions against the poverty, such as: education, health, aid to the needy, development projects, defence of human rights, and the commitment to bring about democracy and legally constituted states. Making his first trip to Africa, Pope Benedict XVI said the Catholic Church can help to bring an answers to the continent's chronic problems, including poverty, AIDS and tribalism.

Bishop Edward Samsel’s relations with the Church of the East were a major part of his pastoral ministry. As a patriot, he felt the obligation to help the Poles which remained within the borders of the Soviet Union, and suffered the torment of the local life. If possible, he tried to involve himself in the rebirth of religion in Belarus. Most contacts Bp E. Samsel had with the Grodno Diocese which was founded in 1991. The author analyzes the pastoral and material assistance, which was provided by Bp Samsel to resurgent church communities in Belarus, as well as his care for priests and seminarists.

Unquestionably, the nationalization of Caritas in 1950 was outlawed and its main purpose was to attack the only independent power in the State – the Catholic Church, headed by Primate Stefan Wyszyński as head of the state. Numerous attempts were made in order to limit the influence of the Church on children and the education of the young. Yet, these attempts were failed by the Communists. Almost every caring institution within the Caritas activities was supported by a monastic congregation. In spite of political compulsion of propaganda character, these institutions were still helping people who needed it.

The Catholic Church is a strong player in Africa, especially due to its social, medical, educational care and charity giving to African people.

The paper deals with a few aspects of Catholic commitment for the better future of this marginalized continent and tries to answer the question if the Catholic Church/the Holy See is the real power in Africa. However, there is not explicit answer because of special nature of this entity.

Unemployment and emigration were the most important and urgent concerns which beset Poland shortly after its rebirth in 1918. The Catholic Church took action in both of these fields, inspired by the teachings of Popes Leo XIII and Pius XI concerning the so-called “social issue.” These inspirations were aptly interpreted and practically implemented by Antoni Julian Nowowiejski, bishop of Płock, known today as a social activist and reformer. This text analyses the specific activities of the Płock clergy in the interwar period, which were supposed to counteract the negative social consequences of the issues mentioned above.

In the Church’s narration on the transformations of the end of the 1980s there is a noticeable disproportion between the actual role of representatives of the Church during the crisis of 1988-1989 and later accounts of their activity. The Church emphasizes its involvement in the process of contesting the communist system but rather does not give prominence to its activity during the proceedings of the Round Table and the contractual elections. This stance follows from the new situation in which the Church found itself after 1989 and ensuing adaptation problems. For various reasons which are discussed in the text, its representatives developed a specific “politics of memory” that includes a formula of the Church – full of goodwill but betrayed and cheated – as a witness of the decisive events of the end of the 1980s. This is done at the cost of distorting the image of those events and is connected first and foremost with goals of an immediate nature.

The article presents the most important values criminally protected in the Catholic Church by CIC/1983 and CCEO/1990. They are: the religion, the unity, the church authorities and the freedom of the Church. About their prime position in the hierarchy of goods legally protected by the provisions of penal canon law testifies that the crimes against them are put in the first and in the second title of CIC/1983, also the threat of severe penal sanctions. These sanctions result from the exceptional social harmfulness of the crimes. In the degree of ailment they are analogical in the canon law of the Latin rite and in the common law of Eastern Catholic Churches.
