The book chronicles the evolution of the church's political power
throughout Poland's unique history. Beginning in the tenth century,
the study first details how Catholicism overcame early challenges
in Poland, from converting the early polytheists to pushing back
the Protestant Reformation half a millennium later. It continues
into the dawn of the modern age-including the division of Poland
between Prussia, Russia, and Austria between 1772 and 1795, the
interwar years, the National Socialist occupation of World War Two,
and the communist and post-war communist eras-during which The
Church only half-correctly presented itself as a steadfast
protector of Poles, with clergy members who either stood up to
foreign authorities or collaborated with those same Nazi and
Communist leaders. This study ends with a consideration of how the
Church has taken advantage of the fall of communism to push its own
social agenda, at times against the wishes of most Poles.
