The Marshal recalled that the Metropolitan loudly demanded the dignity and rights of the faithful, was a model of courage and uncompromising attitude, broke the barrier of fear of the communist security apparatus, and thanks to him, many opposition activists found not only spiritual and material help, but also inspiration to take further action.<\/p>\n
There, in Przemy\u015bl, with the Archbishop, the idea of an independent peasant movement was born. And it is safe to say that thanks to the Metropolitan, the Podkarpacie region became a place of independent and free thought that radiated throughout Poland.<\/p>\n
Marek Kuchcinski emphasized that Father Bishop deeply instilled in hearts and minds the desire for an independent and democratic Homeland. He nurtured these desires in a special way by supporting independent culture and independent publishing activities. He brought help to the repressed and their families. He was not mistaken, convincing since 1982 that the martial law is the beginning of the collapse of the totalitarian system.<\/p>\n
- I think that one of his most important achievements in the then diocese of Przemy\u015bl, which crosses the boundaries of the present Podkarpacie Province, was the construction of over 400 churches. In this way, Fr Abp not only facilitated the participation of the inhabitants in holy masses and the development of the universal church, but also strengthened forever the Roman Catholic rite in the whole of Podkarpacie,\" concluded the Speaker of the Sejm.<\/p>\n
Among the speakers were\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong>Rev.
