Polish Cardinal Stefan Wyszyński, the ‘Iron Primate’ known for his resistance to communism, is to be beatified in Warsaw on September 12. He was a mentor to St John Paul II who said, ‘There would be no Polish Pope without the Primate’. Wyszyński was a martyr of the communist era – he was already the Primate of Poland when he was imprisoned for three years by the regime. He was constantly spied on and kept in dire conditions. According to his biographer Ewa Czaczkowska: ‘He never complained, and never said a bad word about his oppressors.’
