Summary/Abstract: Among the many beatification processes initiated in individual dioceses, several of them attract special attention. Among the many figures, especially those whose candidacy for the altars resulted from heroism or martyrdom, there are people who are not obvious. These include politicians – parliamentarians who, as public figures, gave an example of their attachment to God and the Catholic faith in everyday life. Some of these trials, despite the fact that at least half a century has passed since the death of the candidates for the altars, it turns out that many of the candidates’ characters still arouse emotions, influencing contemporary politics. The aim of the article is to present the figures of parliamentarians with the status of the Servant of God and to show the spheres in which these figures affect the present day.
