Summary/Abstract: This work is legal and historical assessment of the actions taken by the communist authorities in the period 1952-1956 to the bishops of Katowice. This procedure was the result of a determined attitude of bishops from Katowice who opposed the decisions of the officials on the removal of religious education in schools, considering them to be inconsistent with applicable law at that time. The work has shown that all the repressive measures taken against bishops of Katowice had no legitimacy.
