A few remarks on the persistence of the legend of bloodThe article is an extended review of Jolanta Żyndul’s Kłamstwo krwi (‘The Lies of Blood’). Żyndul unearths numerous cases of accusing Jews of ritual murders, which happened in the 19th and the 20th century, and were then forgotten by the Poles. Żyndul puts the libel of the legend of blood inside a wider context of social, religious and political relations in the recent history. She revises the historical narration, which produced the oblivion by undermining the significance of those events. Kilka uwag o trwałości legendy o krwi. Na marginesie „Kłamstwa krwi” Jolanty ŻyndulTekst jest rozszerzoną recenzją monografii historycznej dotyczącej legend o krwi ery nowoczesnej pióra Jolanty Żyndul. Historyczka odkrywa niezwykle liczne dziewiętnasto- i dwudziestowieczne przypadki obwinień Żydów o mord rytualny, zupełnie wyparte z pamięci historycznej Polaków. Sytuuje oszczerstwo krwi w sieci powiązań społecznych, religijnych i politycznych historii najnowszej, poddając rewizji narrację historyczną, która, podważając znaczenie tych niezrozumiałych „epizodów”, wyprodukowała zapomnienie.

The aim of the article is to verify the hypothesis that the institutions of diocesan synod in the perspective of the Roman Catholic Church and that of the Evangelical Church of the Augsburg Confession in the Republic of Poland are very similar. The method to achieve the aim is the comparable analysis of the legal provisions of the fundamental laws of the Churches which refer to diocesan synod. The general conclusion is that the institutions of diocesan synod seen in the two perspectives are completely incompatible. They are different institutions.

On the basis of canon law in relation to the Catholic Church, there are two basic categories of people, namely baptized and unbaptized. The main subject of canon law are baptized persons. They have specific rights and obligations to the community. The Lay faithful have a definite mission in the Church. This mission is carried out in three models of the community: populus Dei, communio fidelium and Corpus Christi.

The author of the article intends to discuss the important role of the Roman Catholic Church in the period of political transformation. He claims that a discourse on the shape of the denominational policy at the level of voivodeships is still nonexistent. The purpose of this text is a partial complement of a fundamental gap in research, as well as a detailed description of the relationship between the party elites and the Roman Catholic Church in the Kraków Voivodeship during the transition period. The author claims that the attitudes of the most important PUWP members towards the Roman Catholic Church were ambivalent and essentially based on commands sent from Warsaw. The impact of the Cracowian dignitaries on the shape of the relationship with the Roman Catholic Church resulted from executing tasks on behalf of the higher party structures.

Despite the considerable influence he exerted on post-war church architecture in Poland, the designer Władysław Pieńkowski (1907–1991) is today an altogether forgotten figure. The current paper outlines his biography and his early oeuvre; this is because his experience in designing office blocks and industrial plants gained while working under the supervision of the most outstanding Polish architects of the mid-20th century, was to be of key importance to his later, independent designs for ecclesiastical buildings. The paper focuses on a particularly important work, one which in many ways constitutes a breakthrough in the architect’s career, namely the church of St. Michael the Archangel in the Mokotów district of Warsaw. This was the first entirely new church to be erected in the capital of Poland after the year 1945. Its construction depended on the dynamic changes in the balance of political forces. The church could be built owing to the support of the PAX Association circle, including the direct involvement of Bolesław Piasecki. In spite of their patronage, however, construction works were repeatedly halted and extended over several years, and the architectural design had to be reworked. The paper contains an analysis of three fundamental designs for the church, now held in the St. Michael the Archangel parish archive and in the architect’s records preserved by his heirs. The first design dates from the period of 1948/9–1951, the subsequent one from the year 1954, and the final one from 1956–1961. The evolution of the design moved from the initial continuation of forms typical of the pre-war Modernised Revivalism, through a peculiar reference to Socialist Realism, to rigorous Modernism. The church of St. Michael the Archangel became Pieńkowski’s testing ground; there, he tried out several solutions which he would consistently utilise in the subsequent years of his career, e.g. the large-scale application of prefabricated elements in both the construction and the decoration of the edifice. The construction of this church was concurrent with important events of a political (the Thaw) and religious nature (the Second Vatican Council). Tracing the history of the design for the Warsaw church and clarifying its connections with contemporaneous church architecture in Poland and in Western Europe made it possible to present the key problems faced by the Polish designers of ecclesiastical architecture in the first decades of the People’s Republic of Poland.

The end of the First World War marked the establishment of the Republic of Czechoslovakia as one of the successor states to the now defunct Habsburg Empire and represented a milestone of key importance for the Czech nation in terms of historical developments. The national revolution of 1918 was accompanied by calls of ‘Away from the Habsburgs’ and ‘Away from Rome’, attacking the Catholic Church as a representative of original centralist governance from Vienna. One product of the post-war religious and Church crisis was the foundation of the Czechoslovak (Hussite) Church on 8 January 1920. This was followed by a period of struggle for the church buildings in the Czech lands between 1920 and 1924. During this period, the Czechoslovak (Hussite) Church occupied a number of churches and other buildings which were owned by the Roman Catholic Church. Naturally, the state authorities took up the position that applicable laws had to be adhered to, such that in the end the Czechoslovak (Hussite) Church had to return the churches taken to the Roman Catholic Church, and they then began to build their own premises for holding services with financial support from the state and its followers.

24 października 1985 r. Eryk Sztekker, socjolog i pracownik Urzędu do spraw Wyznań w Warszawie, podczas kursu dla dyrektorów wydziałów do spraw wyznań wygłosił wykład, w którym przedstawił z punktu widzenia władzy, a ściślej Urzędu do spraw Wyznań – instytucji będącej elementem aparatu kontroli i represji państwa wobec Kościołów i związków wyznaniowych – związki Kościoła katolickiego ze środowiska- mi twórczymi, ludźmi kultury, literatami i artystami w latach osiemdziesiątych XX w. w komunistycznej Polsce. Artykuł jest próbą syntetycznego przedstawienia zjawiska, które nabrzmiewało od połowy lat siedemdziesiątych, a w pierwszej połowie lat osiem- dziesiątych nabrało charakteru masowego. Przez władze państwowe i partyjne postrze- gane było jako poważny problem. Pojawienie się twórców i ludzi kultury w kościołach, gdzie mogli bez ingerencji cenzury prezentować swoją twórczość i wyniki badań oraz dzielić się swoimi przemyśleniami, stanowiło zagrożenie dla państwowego monopolu w obszarze dystrybucji kultury.

O n 24 October 1985, Eryk Sztekker, a sociologist and employee of the Office for Religious Denominations in Warsaw, held a lecture during a course for directors of departments for religious denominations to present the relations of the Roman Catholic Church with communities of creators, people of culture, men of letters and artists in the 1980s in communist Poland from the point of view of the authorities, i.e. the Office for Religious Denominationins, which was part of the control and state repression appara- tus against the Roman Catholic Church and religious associations. The article marks an attempt to provide a structured overview of a phenomenon that had been emerging since the mid-1970s and snowballed in the first half of the 1980s. The state and party authorities viewed it as a serious problem. The emergence of creators and people of culture in chur - ches where they could present their works uncensored and the results of research as well as share their reflections posed a threat to the state monopoly in the provision of culture.

Aim. The purpose of the scientific article is to reveal the specifics of the policy of the Russian Empire towards the Polish population on the territory of the Right-Bank of Ukraine. Methods. The research methodology is based on the principles of scientificity, historicism, systematics. During the research work, both general scientific (analysis and synthesis, systematisation and generalisation) and special scientific methods were used: problem-thematic, as well as system-structural. Results. The politics of the Russian government towards the poles had an important place in the socio-political life of Right-bank Ukraine. Using legislative documents and ordinances, the Russian government introduced a number of restrictive measures that were supposed to control and weaken the influence of Poles on the socio-economic life of the region. Conclusions. The Russian authorities tried to neutralise the influence of the Polish population and the Roman Catholic Church. Determining the presence of Poles and regulating their number depended on the strict control of the Russian government. The Poles were seen as a “dangerous element” threatening the policy of tsarist autocracy. That is why the authorities decided to undermine their socio-economic position by depriving them of a significant number of privileges.

In this article I analyze discursive practices that serve to reproduce models of femininity and that are adopted by lay women employed in central Church organizations, including in diocesan chanceries and ecclesiastical courts. The key discursive practice is dissociation, which excludes women from various institutional orders of the Roman Catholic Church in Poland, keeping them in their place in the hierarchy, and sanctioning non-normative gender models. Drawing on integration theories of gender and new institutionalism in sociology, I depart in this article from individualist and identity views of gender. I consider this category as a social institution, that is, as the social rules, both formal and informal, that restrict and liberate human action and are reproduced and transformed in social practices as a result of human agency. My article is based on 31 in-depth interviews which I conducted with lay women working in administrative and evangelizing organizations of the Church in Poland.

The national and religious identity of Polish minority in the north-eastern Ukraine for centuries has been shaped under the influence of different factors than in the western part of the country. The problem of self-identification of homo postsovieticus is strongly linked with the idea of multiculturalism and a conscious choice of ethnicity. Poles from the Zaporozhye Priazovye have lived thousands kilometres away from the Motherland in a multicultural society consisting of over 130 nationalities. In order to understand how the Polish minority identity from the Zaporozhye Priazovye has been shaped it is important to learn about the history of the Roman Catholic Church in that region. The article presents the history of the above-mentioned Polish minority via the history of the churches in Dnipro, Kamianske, and Zaporizhia. The image of a Catholic Pole in reference to the Polish minority often turns out to be ambiguous, because for a long time the development of religion in those regions was impossible.

The article focuses on the process, events and attempts from the end of the 17ᵗʰ and the beginning of the 18ᵗʰ century to unite the Romanian Orthodox Church or rather a part of it belonging to the Orthodox Metropolitan of Transylvania with the Roman Catholic Church. The author analyzes the challenges and consequences of such a union for the Romanian identity. To overcome the controversies and strengthen a common Romanian identity, the cultural program of the Transylvanian School movement was initiated.

When discussing the composition of the Polish and Lithuanian provinces of the Society of Jesus, this article is part of the trend of prosopographic and socio-historical research devoted to the clergy of the Roman Catholic Church. The aim of the research is to grasp both permanent elements and changes that took place in the structure of the Jesuit community in the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. The author not only presents similarities and differences in the development of the Polish and Lithuanian provinces, but also discusses the trends occurring in their area in a wide pan-European context, comparing the situation of Polish and Lithuanian Jesuits with other administrative units of the order. The chronological scope of the work covers the years 1608–1773, i.e. from the creation of the Lithuanian province as a result of the division of the Polish administrative unit of the order to the dissolution of the Society. The base of primary sources consists of annual and three-year catalogues kept in the Roman Archives of the Society of Jesus, which were analyzed in the form of survey using statistical methods. Against the background of the development of the institution’s network and its financial situation, the author focuses on four issues: the number of Jesuits, their religious vows, their geographical distribution and regions of origin. The conducted research above all shows the influence of the political and military situation of the state on the size of the Jesuit community: the wars of the mid-17th century and, albeit to a lesser extent, the first decade of the 18th century brought serious consequences. The structure of the community in terms of religious vows evolved in a similar way to other European provinces of the Society, as indicated by the increase in the number of professes of four religious vows, who constituted the elite of the order. This phenomenon testifies to the fact that, despite the crises that affected the Commonwealth, the order provided its members with better and better education. The geographical distribution and regions of origin of the Jesuits are closely related, since the recruitment of candidates for the order took place mostly among graduates of Jesuit schools. The most important change in this respect was the increase in the significance of the eastern territories of the Commonwealth both in terms of the number of friars residing there and the participation of representatives of local society in the Jesuit community. As a result of this tendency, in the 18th century the role of the inhabitants of the ethnically Polish territories of the Commonwealth weakened; in the previous century they had constituted, due to their geographical mobility, a substantial part of the Jesuit community in the eastern regions of the Polish-Lithuanian state. This phenomenon clearly indicates the process of cultural integration that took place in the eastern lands of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, and changes in the social mechanism of recruiting friars, manifested in the increase in the number of Jesuits of noble origin.

Archives created by the regional administration units responsible for religious matters as the sources regarding the history of the relations between the state and the Roman Catholic Church between 1945 and 1989. It defines the group of entities implementing the religious policy at a central and regional level, with a special focus on administration. It analyses the contents of the archival fonds that included materials created by organisational units responsible for religious issues. The following methods were used to address the research problem: a historical method, an institutional & legal method, the system method and case study. The files of the religious administration unit can be found in the Szczecin archives in the following fonds: the Szczecin Regional Office, the Executive Committee of the Regional National Council in Szczecin, Regional Office in Szczecin. The materials from those fonds make it possible to recreate various aspects of the religious policy pursued by the state: hindering the pastoral work and religious education for children and teenagers, limiting the property of the church, attempting to create a rift between the clergymen. They contain important information about the social and political attitudes of priests.

The article describes the activities of the Roman Catholic Church in Poland for creating health security at the beginning (March 2020) of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic. Those activities illustrate the coordinated collaboration of state with church, which enjoys a significant public opinion-forming power and influences the behaviour of a major part of the society. The authors conclude that creating health security implies the need to refer to the benefits arising from the collaboration of state with church. The article provides conclusions which may prove useful in different political and religious contexts.

R ola Kościoła katolickiego w trzech ostatnich latach istnienia PRL była znacząca. Po trzeciej pielgrzymce Jana Pawła II wspomniana instytucja wystąpiła jako pośrednik i moderator dialogu między władzami a opozycją. Episkopat konsekwentnie odrzucał kolejne propozycje strony rządowej zmierzające do reformy systemu bez udziału dzia- łaczy zdelegalizowanej „Solidarności”. Zaangażowanie hierarchii kościelnej było nie- zwykle ważne dla doprowadzenia do rozmów „okrągłego stołu” oraz w czasie wyborów parlamentarnych w czerwcu 1989 r., gdy jej wsparcie okazało się kluczowe dla zwycięstwa Komitetu Obywatelskiego i klęski listy rządowej. W tym okresie Episkopat odniósł także bezprecedensowe sukcesy w zakresie relacji państwo–Kościół: uregulowanie swojego statusu prawnego i nawiązanie stosunków dyplomatycznych między Stolicą Apostolską i PRL. Oba osiągnął na własnych warunkach, wykorzystując swoją silniejszą pozycję negocjacyjną. Artykuł przedstawia podejście struktur centralnych Kościoła w Polsce do sytuacji politycznej w ostatnich trzech latach PRL, gdy Episkopat był swego rodzaju akuszerem porozumienia między władzą a opozycją.

T he Roman Catholic Church played a significant role during the last three years of the People’s Republic of Poland. Following the third pilgrimage of John Paul II, the institution acted as a mediator and moderator of dialogue between the authorities and the opposition. The episcopacy kept rejecting subsequent proposals of the government party to reform the system without involving activists of the delegalized “Solidarity” Movement. The involvement of the Roman Catholic hierarchy was hugely important for initiating the “Round Table” talks and during the parliamentary elections of June 1989 when its support turned out to be of key significance for the victory of the Civic Committee and for the defeat of the government party. At that time, the episcopacy also recorded unprecedented successes in the relations between the state and the Church, the regulation of its legal status as well as the Holy See and the People’s Republic of Poland entering into diplomatic relations. It achieved both on its own terms by leveraging its superior negotiation power. The article discusses the approach of the highest hierarchy of the Roman Catholic Church in Poland toward the political situation during the last three years of the People’s Republic of Poland when the episcopacy served as a kind of “midwife” for the agreement between those in power and the opposition.

The author examines grounds for the liability of juridical persons of the Roman Catholic Church for offences against sexual freedom and decency perpetrated against minors while first legal action is instituted in Poland against dioceses and parishes. The article looks at the possibility of civil liability of the Polish Roman Catholic Church to arise based on own fault (Art. 415 of the Civil Code), based on fault of the juridical person’s body (Art. 416 of the Civil Code), based on fault when hiring a priest (Art. 429 of the Civil Code) and based on responsibility for employee’s actions (Art. 430 of the Civil Code).

Artykuł odnosi się do możliwości odpowiedzialności cywilnej polskiego Kościoła katolickiego na podstawie odpowiedzialności z własnej winy (art. 415 Kodeksu cywilnego), odpowiedzialności z winy organu osoby prawnej (art. 416 Kodeksu cywilnego), odpowiedzialności za wina przy wyborze kapłana (art. 429 Kodeksu cywilnego) i odpowiedzialność za pracownika (art. 430 Kodeksu cywilnego).
