Cardinal Stefan Wyszyński, in his teachings, referred to many aspects of human life. In sociopastoral issues, which have been discussed in his journals, were also incorporated the topics connected to mass media. Such issues seemed to be familiar to the cardinal, since he was highly interested in media. As a young priest he was the editor of „Ateneum Kapłańskie”, „Słowo Kujawskie”, „Ład Boży”, „Kronika Diecezji Włocławskiej”. He also had his influence as journalist in many other newspapers. In some of his speeches and articles, especially those from 1942–1946 ones, he appeared to be also a media theorist – he discussed the issues of journalists’ as well as the problems of the catholic journalism. These observations can be described as timeless, so it is worth coming back to them. It is possible that they will become very helpful for the modern journalism.

Convened 50 years ago, the Second Vatican Council was a groundbreaking event in the history of the Common Church. Under difficult conditions of the communist regime, the Church in Poland contributed to the Council work in numerous areas. The decided majority of bishops, despite the problems with receiving passports, participated in the conciliary meetings directly. However, a wise shepherd of the Polish Church, which can definitely be said about Primate Stefan Wyszyński, wished that the matter of the Council became present in every Polish parish and family. By his inspiration a four-year pastoral program was created, commonly referred to as ‘the conciliary vigils’ whose aim was to pray and make offerings in the intention of the Second Vatican Council. The conciliary vigils became a unique work in the entire Common Church. Thanks to them the members of the Polish Church, despite the existence of the iron curtain, were able to take spiritual part in this significant event. In the first part of this article the author attempts to find the answer to the following question: what was the foundation of the conciliary vigils? The answer was contained in three theses: the influence of the attitude represented by Saint John XXIII, who was so dearly connected with Poland and Cardinal Wyszyński and his calling for prayer in the intention of the Council; ecclesiological sensitivity of the Primate of Poland, which expressed itself in the perception of the Church as the mystical Corpus Christi and his unique gift to translate into practice sublime theological assumptions. In the second part the author focuses on the presentation of the course of particular stages of conciliary vigils which also constituted the part of the Great Novena of the Polish Nation. Those were consequent initiatives: in 1962 – The conciliary vigil with Virgin Mary of Jasna Góra, in 1963 – the Conciliary deed of goodness; in 1964 – Victory over oneself for the Council and finally, in 1965 – giving oneself to the maternal enslavement of Virgin Mary, the Mother of Church for the freedom of the Church.

The Church and the Catholic community during the Great Novena (1956–1966) contested the liberal abortion laws introduced by the Communists, arguing that it led to the depopulation of Poland. Formed of pronatalist attitudes based on the experiences of the previous epoch: Catholic parish counseling was developed, spouses were trained on natural family planning methods. Poles were integrated around the Millenium program proclamation of Card. Wyszyński, in which conscience of women through prayer, pilgrimage and preaching. Particular attention has been paid to single mothers and to large families, offering them social and organizational assistance in their parenting. The program of reception of church teaching in the field of marriage and the family was transferred to the forum of the council debate, actively developing the content of the document “Humanae vitae”. In this regard, the effect of the Church and the Catholic community was to strengthen the image of Poland as a country in which it struggled in defense of life and effectively countered the government’s reproductive policy.

The richness of personality and achievements of Cardinal Stefan Wyszyński as a Cardinal Primate of Poland cannot be include in one term. The ranges of his activities on various fields, as a man responsible for the Church in Poland, nation’s advocate, spokesman and defender of social needs, judgmental against the domestic and foreign policy of the Polish authorities (because he was careful about Poland’s position), permeated and were complementary for each other during the time he was a Cardinal Primate.

Bogactwo osobowości i dokonań kard. Stefana Wyszyńskiego jako Prymasa Polski nie da się zawrzeć w jednym określeniu. Zakresy jego działań na różnych płaszczyznach – odpowiedzialnego za Kościół w Polsce, orędownika narodu, wyraziciela i obrońcy potrzeb społecznych, krytycznego, gdyż zatroskanego o pozycję Polski, wobec polityki wewnętrznej i zagranicznej władz polskich – przenikały się i uzupełniały w sprawowaniu urzędu prymasa. Osobiste przymioty intelektualne i duchowe w sposób szczególny rozwinęły się w atmosferze wiary i poczuciu odpowiedzialności wobec Boga. Inicjatywy religijne przez niego inspirowane już w swoim założeniu miały służyć dobru społeczeństwa i państwa. W swojej działalności kierował się stale poczuciem misji religijnej, odpowiedzialnością za losy ojczyzny, prymatem prawdy i dobra społecznego, a troską o zbawienie obejmował także niewierzących i swoich przeciwników.

Przedmiotem artykułu jest ukazanie chrześcijańskiej tradycji kulturowej w kontekście (post) modernizmu z perspektywy personalistycznej wizji kultury prezentowanej przez kard. Stefana Wyszyńskiego. Dokonana przez autora interpretacja materiałów źródłowych ma na celu przedstawienie kultury chrześcijańskiej jako „sfery rzeczywistości ziemskiej”, kształtującej osobę ludzką w jej integralnym rozumieniu, tzn. zarówno w wymiarze indywidualnym i społecznym, jak też doczesnym i nadprzyrodzonym. W rozumieniu personalistyczno-prakseologicznym kultura chrześcijańska ma swoje zakorzenienie w wartościach ewangelicznych, które – ujmowane jako dar i zobowiązanie – rozwijane są przede wszystkim w przestrzenichrześcijańskiej aktywności życia codziennego, zwłaszcza w wymiarze rodziny i narodu. Autor artykułu stawia pytanie: Czy aretologia personalistycznej koncepcji kard. Wyszyńskiego może być aplikowana do konkretnych realiów współczesnej rzeczywistości życia kulturowego? Odpowiedź na tak postawione kwestie jest niezwykle istotna, zwłaszcza w kontekście głoszonego obecnie „pluralizmu ideowego”, charakterystycznego dla współczesnej kultury postmodernistycznej, podkreślającej moralną ambiwalentność „płynnej” ponowoczesności.

The subject of this article is to present the Christian cultural tradition in the context of (post) modernism from the perspective of the personalistic vision of culture presented by Cardinal Stefan Wyszyński. The author’s interpretation of source materials aims to show Christian culture as a “sphere of earthly reality” shaping the human person in its integral dimension, i.e., both in the individual and social dimensions and the temporal and supernatural. In the personalistic-praxeological sense, Christian culture is rooted in the biblical-traditional values, which – perceived as a gift and obligation – are developed primarily in the sphere of the daily Christian life, especially in the dimension of family and nation. The author of the article asks whether the aretology of Cardinal Wyszyński’s personalistic concept can be applied to the specific realities of the up-to-date fact of cultural life? The answer to such questions is essential, especially in the context of the currently proclaimed “ideological pluralism” characteristic of the contemporary post-modern culture that emphasizes the moral ambivalence of “liquid” postmodernity.

Cardinal Stefan Wyszyński played very important role in the modern history of Poland, specially during the time of communist totalitarian regime. He was considered by many people as spiritual leader of Polish nation. It was thanks to him that catholic Church in Poland resisted against the atheistic pressure of the communist governments. The article examines the role of his Marian devotion in these difficult attempts. His relation with Virgin Mary reached the culmination point during his imprisonment, when he made the act of total consecration to Mary, according to the writings of saint Louis-Marie Grignion de Montfort, to save the Church in Poland and spirit of the nation. His pastoral programs which arised as its consequence had the decisive role to maintain the faith in Polish nation and had the influence on the universal Church.

Kard. Stefan Wyszyński odegrał bardzo ważną rolę we współczesnej historii Polski, a szczególnie w czasie trwania komunizmu. Uważany był przez wielu za duchowego przywódcę narodu. Dzięki niemu Kościół katolicki w Polsce oparł się naciskom ze strony komunistycznego aparatu państwa. Artykuł ten analizuje rolę jego pobożności maryjnej w tych trudnych zmaganiach. Kulminacyjnym momentem na maryjnej drodze kard. Wyszyńskiego było złożenie aktu całkowitego ofiarowania się Maryi w duchu św. Ludwika Marii Grignion de Montfort, co uczynił podczas swojego uwięzienia w intencji ocalenia Kościoła w Polsce i ducha narodu. Programy duszpasterskie, które powstały jako owoc tego aktu, odegrały decydującą rolę w podtrzymaniu wiary w narodzie polskim oraz wpłynęły na Kościół powszechny.

In the period of 1945–1989, in Communist Poland, after the subjection of the Labour Party by the Communists in 1945, and their assimilation in 1950 by the Democratic Party, there was no independent Christian Democratic party; despite this, Poland was a country of the Soviet Block, in which the Catholic Church had relatively large freedom, while Christian democratic parties officially existed in GDR and the Czechoslovakian Republic. This issue is strictly related with several other matters: with Christian Democratic and non-Christian democratic efforts of the Catholics aimed at the establishment of the Catholic Party inside the PRL political system (among others, on the basis of Bolesław Piasecki’s PAX Association); with the activities of the groups relating to the Christian democracy outside the party structures (here it necessary to mention Janusz Zabłocki, the ODiSS group and Polish Catholic Social Association); with activities of all other groups of “lawful” Catholics functioning within Communism; finally with the issue of intellectual research aimed at the rationalisation of the existence of Christian democracy outside the democratic system, in the necessary cooperation with an atheistic totalitarian regime (here a special role was played by inspiration with Christian socialism of Emmanuel Mounier). To provide the final statement concerning the scale of the Christian democratic inspiration in both social and political life it is necessary to deepen the present research concerning almost every political groups of Catholics in PRL – both legal and illegal – maybe aside from the well-known group of “Znak”. It is necessary to verify the findings of the present historiography, which mainly belonged to the identity stream, that is the stream giving priority for the justification of the political attitudes of Catholics during PRL over comprehensive and reliable information analysis. The matters crucial for understanding the existence context of the Christian democratic inspirations in the period of PRL include the issues of various forms of political Catholic realisms in PRL (including specific differentiation of the realism of resistance, collaboration and capitulation – using terms applied by Rafał Matyja), as well as an explanation as to why Catholic groups in PRL – in contrast to the Christian Democrats during the inter-war period – tried to build their identity on the critique of the largest Catholic political formation in Poland – namely the national movement, and often even broader – on the critique of the entire relation between Catholicism and Polish national identity.
