...workers' cause was championed by the Roman Catholic Church and notably by its revered Primate, Stefan Cardinal Wyszynski. By combining intellectuals, workers and churchmen, the defense movement could become a classic counter-revolutionary force. Still, the Poles' fear of provoking a Soviet invasion is a strong restraining influence. This month the defense movement scored a triumph: Party Chief Edward Gierek yielded to public pressure and promised to recommend clemency for all workers convicted of rioting...
...Poland received aid from UNRRA amounting to a half-billion dollars. Besides, at the order of the Kremlin, the Polish Communist government rejected aid offered under the Marshall Plan. It is equally untrue that the Communist regime never tried to endanger the church. On the contrary, Stefan Cardinal Wyszynski and scores of other Catholic priests spent years in prison. It is also not true that the Communist regime is for free movement of peoples, ideas and information.

An invitation to Pope Paul VI to visit Poland seems still some distance in the future, since it could embarrass the government by revealing the strength of Polish Catholicism...
...Poland's 32.5 million people have at least nominal allegiance -by granting the Polish church full title to 4,700 chapels and churches and 2,200 parish buildings in the territories taken from Germany after World War II. The move pleased Poland's powerful Stephan Cardinal Wyszynski, who until now has been cool to the new leader's overtures...
