Abstract
Karol Wojtyła played a significant role in the work of the Polish Episcopate Conference and in the work of its specialist committees. From 1958 he was a member of the Polish Episcopate Conference, and in 1964 he became a part of the inner management circle – the Polish Episcopate Main Committee/Main Council. Within the scope of duties he prepared pastoral letters; participated in the forming of relationships with the authorities of the Polish People’s Republic; was responsible for contacts with the Holy See and foreign conferences of episcopates; inspired changes in the organizational structure, purposes and tasks of the Polish Episcopate Conference. Karol Wojtyła’s important contribution to the Polish Episcopate Conference was his participation in the work of specialist committees. In the period of twenty years of the episcopal service Karol Wojtyła was a member of the following bodies: Committee of Lay Apostolate – chairman from 1966 to 1978; Subcommittee of Studies – chairman from 1967 to 1970; Committee for the Catholic Teaching – chairman from 1970 to 1978; the Scientific Council – chairman from 1972 to 1978; the General Pastoral Committee – member from 1958 to 1978; Conciliar Committee – member from 1963 to 1970; Committee of Vocations – member from 1967 to 1970. The amount and diversity of propositions, projects, postulates he tabled, is a testimony of an outstanding intellect, organizational abilities and leadership predispositions of the future Pope.
