Summary/Abstract: One of the most important problems of Polish Catholic community of faith at the present time is the idea of the enthronement of Christ the King of Poland – very well known, and yet controversial. This pastoral and spiritual movement, for the first time in the history of the Catholic Church in Poland, seems to divide seriously the Polish Catholic community into two parts: those who are almost fanatical followers of this idea claiming that only the enthronement of Christ the King will save the modern world from darkness, and on the other hand a serious opposition towards this group, that is the environment treating the very enthronement as a serious element of darkness within the Catholic family in Poland. Perhaps, an analysis and practical pastoral application of the idea of leading Christ onto man’s spiritual peak which was presented by blessed John Henry Newman in his writings will be a sort of rescue in this dispute.
