GNIEZNO I POZNAŃ JAKO GŁÓWNE OŚRODKI WIELKOPOLSKIEJ MYŚLI HISTORYCZNO-KOŚCIELNEJ OSTATNIEGO PÓŁWIECZA (1964-2014)
Gniezno and Poznan as the main Greater Poland centers of historical and ecclesiastical thought of the last half a century (1964-2014)

Summary/Abstract: Gniezno and Poznan in the last half-century strengthened as two separate centers of historical and ecclesiastical thought. It’s enough to recall the names of Gniezno historians of the church: Fr. Marian Aleksandrowicz, Father casimir Smigiel, Father czeslaw Pesta, Father Luke Krucki and Jadwiga Ryl and then add the people who practice this discipline in the Poznań center: Fr. Stefan Hain, Don. Marian Banaszak, Father Feliks Lenort, Father Konrad Latyński, Father Edward Nawrot, Father Bernard Kolodziej Tchr, Father Leszek Wilczynski, Father Peter Neumann OCD and Father Paul Zając OMI to see that the scope of their in uence exceeded far beyond Greater Poland. Existence in the wider scienti c community depended on the raised issues that touched both the origins of the church in Poland and later times – the old Polish ecclesiastical organization, the position of the church under Prussian rule and the reborn Polish Republic, the extermination of the clergy during the last war and the persecution of individuals and church institutions during the communist era. The work of Greater Poland’s historians endeared them universal acclaim, which simultaneously resulted in receiving invitations to participate in a number of conferences, symposiums and scienti c sessions. By participating in them they illustrated their previous achievements, while stressing the importance of the catholic church in the history of Greater Poland and the whole of the Polish state.
