Bishop Michał Klepacz played a key role in the projects of the Polish Conference of Bishops after Second World War. Appointed as a bishop of Łódź diocese in 1946, he was called to be a member of the General Committee of the Polish Conference of Bishops. His duties were directly related to the work of the Committee responsible for talks between the representatives of the Polish Government (PRL) and the Polish Episcopate (1949-1967). He was also a member of various committees: the Theological Studies Committee overseeing Church Faculties and Seminaries (member in 1947-1951 and chairman in 1951-1953/1956), which was later changed to Academic and Seminary Committee (chairman in 1959-1967), School Committee (member in 1947-1953/1956), Press Committee (member in 1950-1953/1956), and Vatican Council Committee (member in 1959-1967). Bishop Klepacz played a major role in the last committee because he participated in all four sessions of the Second Vatican Council. The bishop of Łódź was also a key figure of the Polish Episcopate during the imprisonment and isolation of the Primate of Poland Cardinal Stefan Wyszyński (1953-1956). He was chosen to be the President of the Polish Conference of Bishops at the time of direct interference of the government (PRL) into the Church matters. During that time, he achieved the following: 1) drafted general direction and content of the pastoral teaching; 2) shaped difficult relationship with the government (PRL); 3) controlled and managed chapter vicars with the authority of bishops in the Western and Northern Territory; 4) supervised the activities of the religious societies. Difficult decisions undertaken by the President of the Polish Conference of Bishops at the time of complicated socio-political context call for new biographical studiem encompassing the governance of bishop Michał Klepacz in its entirety.

This article focuses on activities of Bishop Michał Klepacz in the specialised committees of the Episcopate of Poland. Already in 1947, the Łódź Bishop was appointed to the Committee for Theological Studies at Church Faculties and in Seminaries, later transformed into the Studies/Studies and Seminars Committee chaired by the bishop in 1959–1967. Since 1947, he had also worked in the School Committee. Two years later, he was appointed a member of the Committee for Negotiations with the Government representing the Church (since 1956, that Committee operated as the Joint Committee of the PRL Government and the Episcopate of Poland Representatives), which was to standardise and organise relations between the Church and the Communist authorities. As a part of works of that Committee, he was one of the authors of the agreement of April 14, 1950. His activities in that body ended in 1963, with a unilateral freezing of its functioning by the PRL government. Bishop Michał Klepacz also made a substantial contribution to the works of the Press Committee, of which he was a member in the first half of the 1950s, and of the Council Committee. It should be added here that his involvement into that last body was strongly influenced by the fact that he was one of the few dignitaries of the Polish Church participating in all four sessions of the Second Vatican Council.
