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.

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.
