The activity of priests Stanisław Połetka and Stefan Rzemieniec was an example of an uncompromising fight with the communist dictatorship in Poland. They were devoted servants of the Catholic teaching and defendants of the sovereignty and democracy, for which they paid a high price. Sentenced to absolute imprisonment, they were to be subjected to indoctrination of the “People’s” Poland. In the years 1949 - 1955 clergy constituted the main aim for the state and party authorities, which tried to marginalise them as much as possible, among others by undermining their authority and social support. Despite the smear campaign, Polish priest remained the most intransigent opponents of the system until 1989.
