Abstract

A wide range of operational measures of the various institutions that were taken against seminaries in Poland resulted from the fundamental assumption, backed by the experience of successive years of state in the system of people’s power, by which the Roman Catholic Church was the most serious threat to the communist regime. Prepared over the years, the operational work plans of different departments and faculties of the security apparatus responsible for the affairs of the Catholic Church continues to refer to the specific circumstances and characterized it as an organization with a unified, hierarchical, centralized and compact structure, through which it operates in the sphere o f ideological and social -political. This view contributed to invoke a variety of institutions, through which sought to recognize the reality of the Church and to limit its scope of impact on society. It is the Commission for the Clergy at the Central Committee, the highest state authorities indicate the main directions of work in the relationship with the Church, and applied them in detail in 1950 created the Office of Religious Affairs. Learning from such a dramatic heritage of our past and the efforts of the entire seminary community will lead to situation that God using human beings made the Warsaw-Prague Seminar large and vibrant community of love for the church complex and mutual respect. Then, interest in our seminar for current special services would become even obvious.
