Social teaching of subsequent popes had to be brought to life. The efforts were intensified at the beginning of the XX century when pope Pius X announced the need for development of Catholic Actions in social life. The problem was later raised by Benedict XV and especially Pius XI. In Poland, the popes’ calls faced an uneven response. At first, the actions were taken in the Archdiocese of Cracow, and later by primate August Hlond. The Catholic League, as this was the name of the organization coordinating efforts of Catholic associations, was supposed to be further developed in other dioceses. Finally, its structure was supposed to be centralized. Between 1927 and 1929, a Catholic League was organized in the Diocese of Lublin. Amongst the efforts of its bishop, Marian Leon Fulman, its actions incorporated many cleric and secular persons. The efforts were made to develop local structures, make contact with the press and the General Committee of the League. Despite the propaganda developed also in Lublin’s press, boisterously announced actions ground to a halt. The aim of the article is to describe the origin, the structure and the importance of the Catholic League in the Diocese of Lublin.

The Catholic Youth Association in Szadek was established in 1934, after reorganisation of the Polish Youth Association, which had existed earlier. It carried out religious and social work within the framework of the Catholic Action. The patron of the Association in Szadek in 1934–1939 was the parish priest Rev. Edward Lidtke, and its church assistants were Rev. Stefan Filisiak (1934–1936) and Rev. Bernard Głoskowski (1936–1939). The Szadek troops of male and female youth together with troops in Małyń, Zygry, Zadzim and Korczew formed the Szadek section of the Sieradz branch, which was part of the Włocławek diocese Association. The aim of this organization was to bring up young people in the spirit of the Catholic faith and patriotism. The forms of such education included recollections, “social” days, congresses, conventions, sports competitions and pilgrimages. The events that Szadek youth participated in were, among others, the Eucharistic Congress of the Sieradz Region in Sieradz (1934), district rallies and sporting events (in Zduńska Wola, Sieradz and Złoczew), diocese jamborees (in Charłupia Mała and Włocławek), and a nationwide rally in Częstochowa (1938). The Catholic Association in Szadek did not resume activity after 1945.

The creation of Catholic Action in Poland was prepared very carefully for several years. Rev. August Hlond the Primate of Poland invited other church organizations with the statutes and organizational relationship with spiritual authority to join in the ranks of Catholic Action. Catholic Action Statute was approved by the Pope Pius XI with the letter dated 27 November 1930, stating its compliance with the directives of the Holy See. The celebration of Christ the King was established the day of the Catholic Action. In October 1932, the Supreme Institute for Catholic Action called on the diocesan institutes with an appeal to discern the future leaders of this association among the Catholic intelligentsia. Catholic Action has set itself the goal of re-introducing Jesus Christ to the family, school and society. The family as a whole has become the main influence of the Catholic Action movement. The goal of the newly restored Catholic Action (after 1989 transformation) is compatible with the goal of the entire Church: co-operation of Church hierarchy and lay people in helping people. In other words: the deepening and broadening of faith (including Christian morality), so that Christ could return to the conscience, family, national traditions, the relationship between social groups and to international relations.

The reactivation of the Catholic Action (CA) in Poland, which ended its activity in 1939, would have not been possible without the pre-war structures of this secular Catholic organization. Although the break in the existence of this organization in Poland lasted nearly 60 years, but the old form of activity, program and many of its works encouraged the Polish Church, by the initiative of John Paul II, to revive this entity. This article outlines the ideological basis for the creation of the first Catholic Action in the world. Its main organizational forms are also presented in the article, and at the same time, the similarity between the pre-war structures of CA in Poland and their Italian prototype. The last part of the paper outlines the process of creating pre-war structures of the Catholic Action in Poland, its legal basis and areas of activity. Althaough after the Second Vatican Council, there was another perception of the laity in the world, and its role in the Church increased, but the pre-war Catholic Action became a basis for creating a new organization in Poland. The reactivated Polish CA took on a rather traditional model, preserving the institution of the Church assistant as a secular liaison with the hierarchy of the Church.

Reaktywacja Akcji Katolickiej (AK) w Polsce, która skończyła swoją faktyczną działalność w 1939 r., byłaby mało realna bez przedwojennych struktur tej organizacji zrzeszającej katolików świeckich. Wprawdzie przerwa w istnieniu tej organizacji w Polsce trwała blisko 60 lat, ale dawna forma działalności, program i liczne jej dzieła zachęciły polski Kościół, z inicjatywy Jana Pawła II, do odrodzenia tego podmiotu. W niniejszym artykule ukazano w zarysie podstawy ideologiczne tworzenia pierwszej Akcji Katolickiej na świecie. Zaprezentowano także jej główne formy organizacyjne, przedstawiając równocześnie podobieństwo struktur przedwojennej organizacji katolików świeckich w Polsce do jej włoskiego pierwowzoru. W ostatniej części opracowania zarysowano przebieg tworzenia struktur przedwojennej Akcji Katolickiej w Polsce, podstawy prawne jej funkcjonowania oraz obszary działalności. Wprawdzie na świecie po Soborze Watykańskim II, nastąpiło inne postrzeganie laikatu, a jego rola w Kościele wzrosła, ale przedwojenna Akcja Katolicka stała się w Polsce bazą do tworzenia nowej organizacji. Reaktywowana AK przybrała dosyć tradycyjny model, z zachowaniem instytucji asystenta kościelnego jako łącznika świeckich z hierarchią Kościoła.

Catholic Action played a key role in seeking out methods for how to define itself towards the challenges and changes brought about through a secular method of thinking and considering the world, a militant anti-clericalism and last but not least the rise of dictatorial ideologies opposing the Church. Church leaders focused their activities against these ideologies on promoting Catholic discourses on all major topics. Catholic Action activities, which were undoubtedly a centralised papal project, helped in many countries including Czechoslovakia to develop autonomous modern spiritual discourses. Specifically, experience of Catholic Action influenced some of the post-war generation of Czech Catholics because the community founded on their ideas shaped the identity of lay people engaged in the battle against the Communist regime.

The mission of the Church that has been created by Christ not only needs the leadership of a hierarchical structure but also the group of lay believers who act as active supporters and helpers in the proper and effective functioning of the institution. Prudent and thoughtful engagement of the laity in the apostolic endeavours and responsibilities have been appreciated by the pope Pius XI, who established a society called Catholic Action. This organization has undertaken various apostolic and priestly activities in many countries throughout Europe, including Poland, as it was building a unified nation after gaining national independence in the beginning of the twentieth century. This time in history has created extraordinary opportunities for the laity as Catholic Action was opening its structures and setting goals. In retrospective, such activity can be perceived the providential tool that has played an important role in the development of the Catholic Church in Poland. Examining the level of participation and engagement of the Catholic Action in the matters of the Church before the Second World War, one may boldly say that it was a very well developed association gathering an enormous number a of lay believers. It had a pivotal role in assessing the social, cultural political and economical needs in practically every community and responding to those needs in an active way. The development of the Catholic Action was phenomenal between the years of 1918 -1939. In the first ten years of its existence, it was predominantly popular among the elites of the catholic intelligentsia, burgesses, but also peasantry. In 1939, there were 750,000 members in this organization, which ranks it among the most influential in the social arena of Poland at that time.

Autorka koncentruje się na działalności Katolickiego Stowarzyszenia Młodzieży w okresie międzywojennym na przykładzie parafii pw. św. Floriana w Jednorożcu Jednorożec w pow. przasnyskim, przedstawionej na tle innych parafii kurpiowskich w diecezji płockiej i łomżyńskiej. Artykuł przedstawia dzieje młodzieżowych kolumn Akcji Katolickiej po reformie z 1934 r. Choć w parafii Jednorożec były to oddziały o wiele mniejsze i nie działające tak prężnie jak w centralnej Kurpiowszczyźnie, poznanie ich historii uzupełnia funkcjonujący w literaturze obraz rozwoju społeczno-kulturalnego wsi Jednorożec w okresie międzywojennym. Tekst pozwala też poznać podstawowe formy i znaczenie działalności KSM w parafiach kurpiowskich.

The author concentrates on the Catholic Youth Association’s activities in the interwar period on the example of the parish of St. Florian in Jednorożec (Przasnysz county), presented against the background of other parishes in Kurpie, located in Płock and Łomża Dioceses. The author outlines the history of the youth affiliates of the Catholic Action after the reform in 1934. Although the affiliates in Jednorożec were much smaller and less active than in central Kurpie, learning their history complements the depiction of the socio-cultural development of Jednorożec village in the inter-war period. The article also allows learning about the basic forms and the importance of the Catholic Youth Association’s activity in Kurpian parishes.

Artykuł poświęcony jest postaci ks. prałata Antoniego Henryka Szumana, który przewodniczy II grupie męczenników Diecezji Pelplińskiej z okresu II Wojny Światowej, w trwającym obecnie procesie beatyfikacyjnym. Cała uwaga w tekście skupiona została na opisaniu konkretnej działalności tego kapłana na polu jego walki z alkoholizmem wraz z jego następstwami. Pelpliński Sługa Boży uważał to zagadnienie za największą plagę społeczną lat międzywojennych na terenie Polski. Tekst wykazuje zaangażowanie ks. Szumana we wspomniany problem na niemal wszystkich polach jego pracy duszpasterskiej oraz szeroko pojętej działalności społecznej. Artykuł podkreśla także niesamowitą wiedzę  i obycie tego kapłana – na miarę jego czasów – z opisywaną tematyką, a co za tym idzie doskonałe kompetencję ks. H. Szumana.
