LIBER ACCUSATIONIS SECUNDUS - from Sapieha to Wojtyła
1. The break in Poland : from Sapieha to Wojtyła
NOTHING is known outside Poland, and little inside Poland now I fear, after forty years of Communist rule, of what was the Polish Catholic tradition during the last two centuries – a tradition that has been smothered and kept hidden by its enemies, both secret and declared. It is these enemies who have occupied the scene and forced their attention on everyone : the liberal, conservative, aristocratic whites, generally freemasons, on the one side and the carbonari, revolutionary reds, generally intellectuals and men of letters, on the other side. We have always confused your traditional, nationalist, Catholic Poland, where all our sympathy lies, with these two factions whose messianism has exerted a fascination for us and left us disturbed : Poland “ the Christ of the nations ” ! We were far from suspecting that your “ real country ”, although occupied, oppressed and maltreated was obtaining its living from – and paying dearly for the adventures and calculated schemes of – the “ legal country ”, those two parties both white and red, which took their orders from abroad and who were ever the false friends of your people and the enemies of our religion.
