The aim of the article is to determine the type of activities undertaken by the Catholic Church towards clergymen committing sexual offenses, and more specifically: pedophilia. The research problem is a question: what actions does the Catholic Church take against pedophilia? In order to realize a research project, it was first determined how the offense is defined in the doctrine of church criminal law. Then, there was made an analysis of the activities undertaken by the hierarchs of the Catholic Church. On its basis, a typology of the forms of the Church’s influence at various levels was reconstructed in the field of both preventive and sanctioning actions against the clergy. In the article there was adopted a time restriction covering only 2018. It can be described as a breakthrough, first of all due to the verdict that was made in Poznań (MS, 2018), the accusations that appeared at the end of the year against the deceased chaplain of Solidarity, Fr. Henryk Jankowski and initiatives taken by both citizens and politicians, such as the first anti-clerical happening of Baby Shoes Remember in Poland or the creation of a pedophile map. In the cinemas, a movie entitled “Kler” showed up. It moved the topic of pedophilia in the Church. Results: the Catholic Church in Poland, apart from symbolic activities, i.e. oral and written declarations, assurances, and prayers, undertakes also substantial actions, such as personal changes, cooperation with the state or the meetings of hierarchs centered around pedophilia.

Media hype about minors sexual abuse by clerics makes an impression as if the Church didn’t react to this problem. That loud and aggressive action of mass media is not true. The above article, which contains an overview of different papal speeches and documents, as well as Roman Curia’s commitment, especially Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith commitment, manifest very active and multifaceted Church’s response to the problem. It is necessary to emphasise the important influence of pope Benedict XVI. Since he was a prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of Faith he endeavoured to conform to rules of penal canon law in a consistent and explicit way. Along with the development of the universal law the particular law came into being. It constitutes a supplement to general legislation and demands recognition from the side of The Holy See. In each situation concerning the crimes against morals committed by clergy, it is essential to face the problem i.e. to show compassion and help to the victims and to explain the whole truth about what had really happened. If a clergyman is guilty of a crime then, in the name of love and truth, it is necessary to apply canonical penalties. The important part of solving a problem is to apply formation rules consistently: a proper recognition of vocation and human formation in an emotional and sexual space. Finally, clergymen have to interpret the universal call to holiness more intensively. Crisis, which touched the Church, is also an opportunity to thorough purification of the Church and to renew commitment to apostolic holiness. Through preaching truth about God and human, and at the same time setting requirements for the worshippers, especially for the clergymen, the Church leads people to holiness and salvation.

The article addresses the issue of peace in the world, particularly through an appeal to care for all those who suffer from armed conflicts and who, for this and other reasons, decide to leave their homes. The involvement of the Catholic Church in providing help to the victims of armed conflicts is the sub-ject of the article, in which, on the basis of the support provided for families in Ukraine and evacuated to Poland, the author attempts to demonstrate the prac-tical dimension of the Church teaching on this subject. The paper analyses the biblical guidance concerning aid to newcomers and foreigners, and the teaching of the Catholic Church on refugees and migrants. An appeal addressed to Catholics to support those harmed by armed conflicts in their home country and all migrants and refugees is presented. The article shows how the appeal de-rived from the Catholic teaching is implemented in practice by helping the sufferers from Ukraine. The aid to the persons evacuated from Donbas pro-vided at the first stage of their adaptation to Poland by Caritas of the Warmian Archdiocese is analysed in detail.

The Ministry of Public Administration was established pursuant to the Act of 31 December 1944 on the appointment of the Interim Government of the Republic of Poland. The matters arising from the relations between the State and the Churches and religious denominations were handled by Department V, which in 1946 consisted of two sections addressing Christian and non-Christian denominations, respectively. The Socio-Political Departments in the Provincial Offices, which employed officials responsible for matters relating to religious denominations, were subordinate to Department V. The same held true in Starostwa Powiatowe [County Offices]. In 1947, Department V was divided into three units addressing matters of the Catholic Church, Christian Denominations and Non-Christian denominations, respectively, and one year later still one more department, i.e. the Department of General Matters, was established. Since 1947 matters relating to religious denominations fell within the competences of Department IV. The Department of Religious Denominations in the Ministry of Public Administration from its beginnings was responsible for shaping the policy of the State towards religious denominations. The aforementioned policy was supposed to be concordant with the directives and principles of the communist party. The socio-political reforms conducted by the Ministry of Public Administration in relation to the Churches and religious associations were one of the means of repression, which within the years 1944-1950 was in its initial phase based on the trial-and-error method. However, it was the cooperation of the Ministry with Urząd Bezpieczeństwa Publicznego [Public Security Office], and later the establishment of Urząd ds. Wyznań [Office in charge of Religious Denominations] in 1950 which changed and regulated actions of the communist authorities towards the Churches and religious associations in Poland regarding the matters concerning the relations between the State and the Church and religious associations. From then on the competences to date of Department IV of the Ministry of Public Administration were transferred onto the Office in charge of Religious Denominations.

The paper analysed the basis and methods of the functioning of the Catholic Church in France, the country that the principle of secularism is inscribed in the constitution and the separation of the Churches of the state is treated as a fundamental principle, but still within its territory there are also other systems in relation to the state of the Catholic Church. In most parts of the country, and three overseas departments (Guadeloupe, Martinique and Reunion), inforce the Act of 1905 on the separation of churches from the state, which deprives the churches and church agencies of the legal entity. For a three eastern departments of the country (Lower Rhine, Upper Rhine and Moselle), is valid Concordat of Napoleon from 1801, which divides of religion to „recognized” and „not recognized” by the state. Cults of personality are considered public law and the state has to have a number of obligations, such as financial maintenance of the clergy, but also rights as the right to appoint people to high positions in these religions. In almost all the overseas territories of all faiths apply to the decrees of 1939, the so-called. Mandela decrees under which the resulting administrative councils involved in the management of the assets of churches and other religious organizations. In French Guiana, there are two systems. Catholic Religion is the only cult „recognized” by the state and funded directly by them pursuant to the Royal Decree of Charles X in 1828, and to other faiths apply these decrees Mandela.

W latach 1982-89 klasztor oo. Kapucynów w Krośnie należał do tych jednostek administracyjnych Kościoła katolickiego na terenie ówczesnego województwa krośnieńskiego, które udzielały zdecydowanego wsparcia lokalnym strukturom „Solidarności” i wokół których ogniskowała się działalność miejscowych środowisk opozycyjnych. Ojciec gwardian Bogusław Piechuta oraz jego zakonni współbracia: o. Ryszard Śleboda i o. Zdzisław Duma, należeli do bezkompromisowych przeciwników władzy komunistycznej. Z tego powodu byli inwigilowani i rozpracowywani przez funkcjonariuszy Wydziału IV SB WUSW w Krośnie. Autor artykułu stara się odtworzyć działania operacyjne Służby Bezpieczeństwa wobec tego klasztoru w latach 1982-1989. Pokazuje również wymierzone w tą wspólnotę zakonną działania administracyjne prowadzone przez krośnieński Wydział do Spraw Wyznań.

In the years 1982-89, the monastery of Capuchin Friars in Krosno was one of those administrative units of the Catholic Church in then Krosno Voivodship which unequivocally supported the local structures of Solidarity and which constituted the active centre of the local opposition. The Guardian, Fr. Bogusław Piechuta and his confreres, Fr. Ryszard Śleboda and Fr. Zdzisław Duma, were uncompromising adversaries of the communist authorities. For this reason, they were under the surveillance of the functionaries of Department IV of the Security Service of the Ministry of Internal Affairs in Krosno. The author of the article strives to retrace the operative activities of the Security Service towards the order in the years 1982-1989. He also presents administrative activities of the Department of Religious Denominations in Krosno aimed against the order.

Schyłek lat osiemdziesiątych i początek lat dziewięćdziesiątych XX wieku dla większości państw Europy Środkowo-Wschodniej był okresem przełomowym. Wydarzenia zapoczątkowane reformami M. Gorbaczowa nie ominęły także terytorium naszego wschodniego sąsiada – Ukrainy. Pozwoliły one państwu ukraińskiemu na wydostanie się spod hegemonii Moskwy, a następnie umożliwiły budowanie własnej podmiotowości na arenie międzynarodowej oraz ustroju opartego – przynajmniej w teorii – o zasady obowiązujące w demokratycznym państwie prawa. Reformy te zmieniły zasadniczo także pozycję funkcjonujących tam wspólnot religijnych, w tym Kościoła katolickiego. Zerwanie z obowiązującą od dziesięcioleci polityką ateizacji i sowietyzacji społeczeństwa zapoczątkowało spontaniczne odrodzenie religijne, co w konsekwencji doprowadziło do odbudowania struktur Kościoła katolickiego. Wieści o odradzającym się za wschodnią granicą życiu religijnym docierały do Polski między innymi. za sprawą artykułów publikowanych na łamach prasy, w tym „Tygodnika Powszechnego”. Analiza tekstów zamieszczonych na jego kartach w latach 1988-1991 pozwala na stwierdzenie, iż przekazywały one w miarę aktualny oraz pełny obraz zmian, jakie w tym czasie zachodziły na terytorium Ukrainy. Czytelnik informowany był zarówno o reformach obejmujących swym zasięgiem cały kraj, w tym obrazujących zmianę podejścia władz państwowych do kwestii związanych z religią, jak też o sukcesach lokalnych wspólnot katolickich, które dzięki nieprawdopodobnemu wręcz zaangażowaniu potrafiły, pomimo skromnych zazwyczaj możliwości, odzyskać szereg budynków kościelnych, a w dalszej kolejności odbudować struktury poszczególnych parafii. Niestety, pozytywny obraz zachodzących zmian psuły nasilające się od początku lat dziewięćdziesiątych konflikty z ukraińskimi władzami państwowymi, a co gorsza – także z przedstawicielami innych wyznań. Konflikty te, dotyczące głównie kwestii związanych ze zwrotem budynków sakralnych, również znalazły swe odzwierciedlenie na kartach „Tygodnika Powszechnego”. Dzięki temu czytelnik na bieżąco mógł śledzić wydarzenia związane z odrodzeniem życia religijnego na Ukrainie.

The period between late 1980s and early 1990s was a turning point for the majority of Central and Eastern European countries. The events initiated by Gorbachev's reforms affected Ukraine. They allowed the Ukrainian state to leave the Moscow's area of influence, and build its own subjectivity on the international stage and a system based, at least theoretically, on the democratic rule of law. These reforms fundamentally changed the position of the religious communities functioning there, including the Catholic Church. Breaking with the policy of atheization and the sovietization of society that had been in force for decades has initiated a spontaneous religious revival, which in turn led to the rebuilding of the structures of the Catholic Church. The news of the reviving religious life coming from across the Eastern border was heard in Poland, among others due to press articles, including the articles published in “Tygodnik Powszechny.” An analysis of the texts published in “Tygodnik Powszechny” in 1988-1991 shows that they provided a complete and up-to-date description of the changes that occurred in Ukraine at that time. The reader was informed about reforms across the whole country, including the change in the attitude of state authorities to matters related to religion, as well as about the successes of local Catholic communities, which, due to their great commitment, managed to regain a number of church buildings and rebuild the structures of individual parishes, despite limitations in their functionality. Unfortunately, the positive picture of the ongoing changes was tarnished by the conflicts with the Ukrainian state authorities, which had been growing since the beginning of the 1990s, and, what was worse, with the representatives of other religions. These conflicts, mainly concerning issues related to the return of religious buildings, were reflected in the articles published in Tygodnik Powszechny. Due to this, the reader could follow events related to the revival of religious life in Ukraine on an ongoing basis.

The author describes and analyzes the formation of the two mass political blocs in Polish environments – socialist and nationalist ones at the turn of the 20th century. Having been created as secret structures, both movements were primarily based on secular ideologies. Their main goal was the fight for independence. However, they began to differ in methods and means concerning its achievement over time. The socialists combined the struggle for independence with social revolution, not excluding even armed struggle; the nationalists on the contrary wanted to regain the independence by means of compromise, evolvement, not excluding national uprisings. In time, the amicable attitude of the nationalists was backed by the Polish Church, which was thereby fulfilling the recommendations and expectations of the Holy See.

Autorka opisuje i analizuje kształtowanie się w środowiskach polskich przełomu XIX i XX wieku dwóch masowych bloków politycznych – socjalistycznego i nacjonalistycznego. Oba nurty powstawały jako struktury tajne, oba też w swych początkach stały na gruncie ideologii świeckich, a ich celem była walka o niepodległość. Z czasem zaczynały się różnić co do metod i środków osiągania założonego celu. Socjaliści walkę o niepodległość łączyli z rewolucją socjalną, nie wykluczali także walki zbrojnej; nacjonaliści do niepodległości chcieli dojść metodami ugodowymi, ewolucyjnymi, wykluczając kolejne powstania narodowe. Z czasem po stronie ugodowej postawy nacjonalistów opowiedział się polski Kościół hierarchiczny, który w ten sposób wypełniał również zalecenia i oczekiwania Stolicy Apostolskiej.
