The 90th anniversary of Fr. Johannes Chrząszcz’s death held in 2018 is a good opportunity to bring the figure of this Upper Silesian priest to a wider circle of readers. Fr. Piotr Górecki in his article presents the figure of Fr. Chrząszcz mentioning the most important events of his priestly life and bringing closer his scientific activity, numbering 172 works, mainly from the history of Upper Silesia. On the basis of the 100th anniversary of the ending of the World War I Górecki first of all reflects on the attitude of the Silesian priest towards secular power. The chronicle records made by Fr. Chrząszcz in the book about two Upper Silesian towns Toszek and Pyskowice are the source of research. The reading of already older at that time priest’s writings reveals to us the great dilemmas faced by him and his contemporary priests. It seems that his loyal attitude was to avoid any social upheavals and revolts, even at the price of uncompromising loyalty to the secular power and maintenance of “alliance of the altar and the throne” brought out through the ages. This attitude characterised also a large group of priests from different parts of Poland occupied by the invaders. The discourse confirms the thesis that both Fr. Chrząszcz as well as some of his contemporary Church representatives were a kind of epigones of the passing era. They did not notice the dawn of a new era and the birth of a new order, which brought the rebirth of Poland and the new hope for Silesia. This is the reason why the attitude of Fr. Chrząszcz was omitted by his descendants in their historical works. It is a pity, because the awareness of Fr. Chrząszcz’s scientific legacy may help to get a better understanding of Silesian history, as well as to realize rich multicultural heritage associated with Silesians for centuries.

Przypadająca w 2018 roku 90. rocznica śmierci ks. Johannesa Chrząszcza jest dobrą okazją, aby przybliżyć szerszemu gronu czytelniczemu sylwetkę tegoż górnośląskiego kapłana. Ks. Piotr Górecki w swoim artykule przybliża nie tylko sylwetkę ks. J. Chrząszcza, wspominając o najważniejszych wydarzeniach z jego kapłańskiego życia i prezentując spuściznę jego prac naukowych, liczącą 172 pozycje, głównie z historii Górnego Śląska. Na kanwie 100. rocznicy zakończenia I wojny światowej snuje przede wszystkim refleksję dotyczącą postawy tegoż śląskiego kapłana wobec władzy świeckiej. Źródłem badawczym stały się pozostawione przez ks. J. Chrząszcza zapiski kronikarskie, jakie zamieścił w książce o dziejach dwóch górnośląskich miejscowości – Toszka i Pyskowic. Lektura zapisków starszego już wówczas kapłana odkrywa przed nami ogromne dylematy, z jakimi borykał się on i współcześni mu duszpasterze. Wydaje się, że jego lojalna postawa miała na celu nie dopuścić do jakichkolwiek przewrotów i rewolt społecznych, nawet za cenę bezkompromisowej wierności względem władzy świeckiej i zachowania lansowanego przez wieki „sojuszu ołtarza z tronem”. Taka postawa cechowała także liczne grono innych duszpasterzy w okupowanych przez zaborców różnych częściach Polski. Dyskurs potwierdza tezę, że zarówno ks. J. Chrząszcz, jak i współcześni mu ludzie Kościoła byli swoistego rodzaju epigonami mijającej epoki. Nie zauważyli oni jutrzenki narodzin nowych czasów i nowego porządku, która przyniosła Polsce odrodzenie, a ziemi śląskiej nową nadzieję. W ocenie potomnych taka postawa ks. J. Chrząszcza była wystarczającym powodem do tego, aby nie uwzględniać jego osoby w badaniach historycznych. A szkoda, ponieważ znajomość jego dorobku naukowego może dopomóc w lepszym zrozumieniu dziejów Śląska, jak i uświadomienia sobie bogatej spuścizny wielokulturowości, która przez wieki cechowała Ślązaków.

The author shows the influence of the Catholic Church on the history and development of Silesia. On a positive apology, the author presents how the Church contributed to the historical development of this south-western region of Poland. He describes the role of the Church in the initial formation of the Piast principalities, which laid the foundation for their further development. He indicates the role of the medieval religious orders – especially the Cistercians – in the economic development of Silesia. The first schools and asylums (hospitals) in Silesia appeared also thanks to the Church. Christian Caritas stimulated acts of mercy both on behalf of the most important people in the world as well as those whose social role was less significant. The Catholic Church in Silesia contributed to the creation of a multinational society by bringing together individuals and a community, in which the status of a person was not thanks to the noble birth or money, but thanks to the same dignity of being a child of God. Over the centuries, the Church has prevented the confrontation caused by the national divides or by all kinds of awakenings of nationalisms or totalitarianisms. The Church actively defended the victims and called for respect for every human being. The author also points to the culture-building role of the Church, especially through the works that the Church has left as the treasures of the past. Of course, it should not be forgotten that people of the Church were also children of their era. The article is a voice in the debate over the role of the Church in contemporary world. It is a message about the truth of the Catholic Church, with its positive contribution to many domains of the world: at the economic, political and cultural level. It must be remembered that the main objective of the Church is to proclaim the proximity of the Kingdom of God, which began on earth with the mission of Jesus Christ. The Church proclaims Christ through man. Paradoxically, all the charity, economic and cultural activity of the Church – as discussed in this article – is not the main objective of the Church. These activities are a means of achieving the objective. This is the way in which the Church transforms the world, in accordance to the will of God the Creator, who ordered people to fill the earth and subdue it. In this manner, the Church participates in the divine plan of salvation.
