About the Relations of the Roman Catholic Church with Creators of Culture in the People’s Republic of Poland. The Record of the Lecture of Eryk Sztekker of 24 October 1985 during a Course for Directors of Departments for Religious Denominations

Summary/Abstract: On 24 October 1985, Eryk Sztekker, a sociologist and employee of the Office for Religious Denominations in Warsaw, held a lecture during a course for directors of departments for religious denominations to present the relations of the Roman Catholic Church with communities of creators, people of culture, men of letters and artists in the 1980s in communist Poland from the point of view of the authorities, i.e. the Office for Religious Denominationins, which was part of the control and state repression apparatus against the Roman Catholic Church and religious associations. The article marks an attempt to provide a structured overview of a phenomenon that had been emerging since the mid-1970s and snowballed in the first half of the 1980s. The state and party authorities viewed it as a serious problem. The emergence of creators and people of culture in churches where they could present their works uncensored and the results of research as well as share their reflections posed a threat to the state monopoly in the provision of culture.
