Appell der polnischen Bischöfe von der Kontaktgruppe mit der Deutschen Bischofskonferenz
Die Versöhnung ist ein Wort, das seit über einem Vierteljahrhundert die polnisch-deutschen Beziehungen definiert. Das ist ein groβer Wert, den man erreichte und den wir aufrechterhalten dank der Bemühungen der Politiker sowie der Menschen guten Willens auf beiden Seiten der Grenze. Wir sind uns jedoch bewusst, dass man ihn leicht verlieren kann durch voreilige Entschlüsse, und sogar durch zu übereilt ausgesprochene Worte. Gleichzeitig erinnern wir uns daran, dass die patriotische Pflicht darin besteht, „sich für den Werk der gesellschaftlichen Versöhnung einsetzen, durch die Erinnerung an die Wahrheit über die Würde jedes Menschen, die Entschärfung übermäßiger politischer Emotionen, das Hinweisen und das Erweitern der Gebiete der möglichen und der für Polen unerlässlichen Zusammenarbeit über die Teilungen, sowie durch den Schutz des öffentlichen Lebens vor der unnötigen Politisierung ( so „Die christliche Form des Patriotismus“).
