The Orthodox Military Chaplaincy in the Interwar Period and during World War II

Jerzy Mokrauz



Abstract

This article above is to outline the difficult period Orthodoxy development in the Second Polish Republic, i.e. the years 1918-1945. Problems with shaping an unambiguous state thought, establishing a confessional profile, or finally the World War II tragedy augmented already existing problems or evoked new ones. The natural inclination to cultivate the tradition of Western Christianity in Poland had to give way to the post-war conditions of the atheistic program, when the army had to uphold its fidelity to the provisions of the treaties and guard freedom in its new semantic restrictions.

Keywords:

history, military, war, fundamental theology, Orthodox pastoral care
