Summary/Abstract: The Christian Social Association, founded in 1957, was one of three (officially tolerated) groups of lay Catholics in the post-1956 People’s Republic of Poland, along with the Znak movement and the PAX Asso- ciation. It was the smallest of them, but it played an important role in the Communist authorities’ religious policy, which sought to antagonise Polish Catholics. Presided over until 1968 by Jan Frankowski, between 1968 and 1974 by Zygmunt Filipowicz, and from 1974 by Kazimierz Morawski, it was a place of constant factional struggles, often controlled by the authorities with the help of secret collaborators with the Security Service. One of these was Stanisław Jan Rostworowski.
