Summary/Abstract: The Roman Catholic Church played a decisive role in Poland’s struggle against communism. While Primate Stefan Wyszyński’s “non possumus” and Karol Wojtyła’s efforts— as a cardinal building the Nowa Huta church, as Pope on the international cold war stage—are well-known examples of the Church’s role in that struggle, other members of the Catholic hierarchy also played pivotal parts. A major figure in that struggle was Ignacy Tokarczuk, archbishop of Przemyśl (1966–1993), who died in December 2012. His church-building program and vigorous support of the Polish opposition elicited communist invigilation through most of his thirty-three-year episcopal service.
