Masoneria jako „Antykościół” w publicystyce katolickiej Drugiej Rzeczypospolitej
Freemasonry as “Anti-Church” in the Catholic Journalism of the Second Polish Republic

Summary/Abstract: In the Catholic journalism of the Second Republic, Freemasonry was oftenaccused of seeking to destroy the Church and eradicate religious life from soci-ety. It was attributed to its connections with Jews and satanic inclinations. Enunciations on the aforementioned issue were therefore an emanation of the“black legend” of freemasonry, which had long been spread in conservative circles, especially Catholic ones. The purpose of this article is to show the im-age of Freemasonry as an organization fighting against the Church and being the cause of secularization, or de-Christianization of society in the home coun-try and the world, as it was created in the Catholic press of interwar Poland.
