Wesołowski, Dariusz T.2026-03-062026-03-062013Seminare, 2013, Tom 33, s. 115-126.1232-8766https://theo-logos.pl/handle/123456789/42428Unemployment and emigration were the most important and urgent concerns which beset Poland shortly after its rebirth in 1918. The Catholic Church took action in both of these fields, inspired by the teachings of Popes Leo XIII and Pius XI concerning the so‑called “social issue.” These inspirations were aptly interpreted and practically implemented by Antoni Julian Nowowiejski, bishop of Płock, known today as a social activist and reformer. This text analyses the specific activities of the Płock clergy in the interwar period, which were supposed to counteract the negative social consequences of the issues mentioned above.polCC-BY-ND - Uznanie autorstwa - Bez utworów zależnychbezrobocieemigracjaKościół katolickiKościółAntoni Nowowiejskiarcybiskupiduchowieństwoduchowieństwo płockienauczanie społeczne Antoniego Nowowiejskiegonaródkatolicka nauka społecznahistorianauczanie społeczne Kościoładuszpasterstwoduszpasterstwo emigracyjnepolskie duszpasterstwo emigracyjneduszpasterzepolscy duszpasterze emigrantówemigrancireemigracjaprzyczyny emigracjiprzyczyny bezrobociaunemploymentemigrationCatholic ChurchChurcharchbishopsclergyclergy of PłockAntoni Nowowiejski’s social teachingnationCatholic social teachinghistorysocial teaching of the Churchpastoral careemigratory pastoral carePolish emigratory pastoral careministersPolish ministers for emigrantsemigrantsre-emigrationreasons of emigrationreasons of unemploymentArticle
