Stefan Wyszyński’s Social Ideas in the Research and Educational Activity of Academic Centres

Stefan Wyszyński is one of the most eminent and well-known persons in the history of Poland and Church in our country. This paper unambiguously demonstrates that he had great achievements when it comes to the social thought, which is original and timeless when compared to others. Wyszyński’s social thought has a specific nature, conditioned by the social encyclicals and environment in which he grew, developed and was shaped. Numerous statements can be interpreted as a reaction to current events trampling the human being’s dignity, which were an insult to love, and failed to take into account moral values in social life. The ideas put forward by Stefan Wyszyński make up a consistent concept of social life. Its more in-depth analysis can be found in the research and publications of numerous academic centres, and the most important ones have been mentioned in this article.
