date:02 April 2025 Editor: Anna
We talk so much about democracy today, we fight for democracy, we defend democracy, we consider it a accomplishment of modern societies... Meanwhile, our Homeland, Poland, has been a monarchy for over 800 years! It is over 8 centuries, 8 centuries of history, during which the crowned rulers ruled the Republic.
We seldom get a chance to look at our past from that perspective. Today, in the millennium of the Polish kingdom, an excellent chance is presented for this – this is the book “Polish Monarchy”, written by prof. Grzegorz Kucharczyk, a well-used historian. It is adequate to scope for it to decision into the times of kings, starting with Bolesław Chrobry, who based what he achieved on the baptism he accepted for Poland Mieszko I
The author of “Polish Monarchy” leads us through the past of the Polish Crown, synthesising the reign of individual rulers from the first coronation 1000 years ago to the legislature Kingdom, or possibly even the 20th century, erstwhile “We had the happiness of surviving in a time erstwhile our community was strengthened by 2 uncoronated kings of Poland – Blessed Cardinal Stefan Wyszyński, Primate of Poland, and Saint John Paul II”, as Prof. Kucharczyk notes.
The book “Polish Monarchy” complements historical cognition and strengthens our patriotism, but it besides emphasizes the function of the Church in Polish history; as prof. Grzegorz Kucharczyk recounts, our crowned rulers from the beginning were set on cooperation with papal Rome, and the Church in Poland was besides a guarantor of national unity. It happened so until the 20th-XXI century, erstwhile it first fought the Church of the commune, and now the current power discredits its function besides by ousting from schools the actual discipline of past and trying to intimidate believers.
The book "Polish Monarchy", as always in the White Raven beautifully illustrated and carefully published, is simply a souvenir of the large millennium of the Polish Crown prepared to encourage Polish hearts in today's mass attacks on Polishness and all that is crucial and sacred to us.
