Opposition to the murder of Fr. Stanisław Streich in the light of the press at the end of the 1930s

Abstract

The aim of this study is to show the forms of social opposition to the murder of Fr. Stanisław Streich on February 27, 1938 in the church of st. John Bosco in Luboń. The fact of the crime and the martyr's death of the priest appeared on the political, ideological and social grounds in the Second Polish Republic. The press at that time, widely commenting on the murder, became an extremely valuable source of information about the events that took place in Luboń. Polish press articles at the end of the 1930s, despite different differences in the presentation of the crime, were recognized as evidence in the beatification process of the Servant of God, and the conviction that he was killed out of hatred for faith and gave his life to Christ appeared at the time of his death and in a straight line aimed at the beginning of the beatification process. The content of the study was largely dispersed and can be found in various libraries and archives. Therefore, the research process in the development was carried out using the analytical and synthetic method. The synthesis made it possible to compile and put the studied material into a whole, reconstructed on the basis of the previous analysis, and allowed for examining the sources in terms of the selected issue included in the topic of the work, drawing conclusions, and answering the dubia posed.
