Summary/Abstract: The paper traces the history of mutual relationships between two eminent figures of the Catholic Church in Poland - the Primate card. Stefan Wyszyński and card. Bolesław Kominek, whose long-standing cooperation was built on concern for the welfare of the Church and nation. The acquaintance, dating back to 1930, was marked by great mutual esteem and confidence. Even at the time when the communists arrested the Primate, the cardinals continued to support each other and share their views in correspondence. Their formal cooperation after 1956 contributed, among others, to the normalizing of Polish – German relations and canonic stabilization of the church administration on the Recovered Territories in 1972.
