Rome's Most Faithful Daughter. The Catholic Church and Independent Poland, 1914–1939

Particular chapters reconstruct the sequence of events and try to find logic in the development of relations between state and church, while also focusing on key factors and crucial events that determined these relations and also constituted essential moments of the Polish inter-war social and political history. The first chapter of the book describes competently the position of Catholicism and the Roman Catholic Church in Poland at the time when the nineteenth-century European status quo was coming to an end with the outbreak of the Great War.
