A story of the persecution and survival of the Polish Church during communist rule.
And so, it was these two men, Wyszynski and Gomulka who would represent the front lines of a new yet long forecasted confrontation: Communism VS Roman Catholicism. Prior to occupying Poland, the Soviets had a relatively easy time of taking over state churches. The Orthodox disciplines of the east were already highly nationalistic with few, if any, external allegiances. The Roman Catholic Church, on the other hand, was highly centralized and historically resistant to nationalistic flavors of the faith – this can be traced back to the investiture contest a thousand years ago with Pope Gregry VII. For Russian communism, the attempted conversion of Poland to atheism would be new territory.
