Spolupútnici druhej polovice 20. stornia - sv. Ján Pavol II. a Boží služobník Štefan Wyszyński
The second half of the 20th century – saint John Paul II and the servant of God Stefan Wyszyński

Summary/Abstract: In the history of the Church of the 20th century, there are characters inscribed in letters of gold not only in the history of the local church, but the universal one as well. Among them can be included two great Poles, giants fighting for the freedom of the Church – Cardinal Stefan Wyszyński and Pope John Paul II. John Paul II gave Cardinal Stefan Wyszyński a by-name – the “Primate of the Millennium”, because during the years of political enslavement of Poland he proved to be a staunch pastor, spiritual and moral authority for the millions of Catholics. Despite the communist dictatorship, Cardinal Wyszyński was considered as a “statesman” – personality endowed with the charism of a leader and the ability to make an objective assessment of the situation. He was faithful to the Gospel, the Church and the homeland. He had a great devotion to Mary, whom he entrusted the fate of the country and the Church. His spirituality was a factor in mobilising the Polish society of believers to the uncompromising fidelity to the Christian roots in Eastern Europe. At his side formed his character and spiritual profile the future Pope John Paul II, who introduced the Church into the new millennium.
