Attitudes towards state institutions among the Pastoral Care of the Working People in the analyzes of the Security Service of the People’s Republic of Poland

Summary/Abstract: The issue of Christian Work Ministries (CWM) in Poland during the communist regime have so far been hardly explored. Empirical data collected in Archive of Institute of National Remembrance were analyzed, to show the perspective on CWM from Security Services (SB) point of view. In their eyes CWM were dangerous and threat for security of state and communism in Poland. The hypothesis of the survey was the assumption that SB saw CWM and its activists as a source of threat for the state and were state-phobic. Auxiliary hypothesis was assumption that CWM was a shelter for former members of “Solidarity” and as a members of CWM they continued their activism, to a limited extent, known from “Solidarity”.
