Ksiądz Feliks Ożga i jego zmagania z komunistycznym aparatem represji

The article presents the repressions of the communist apparatus against the clergyman of the Chełmno diocese – priest Feliks Ożga. The problems of the priest started at the end of the 1940s, when in his sermons he criticized the political system of the time. In 1951 he was sentenced for the first time for his anti-Polish activity and imprisoned for 8 months. The real problems of the priest commenced when he started to cooperate with activists of the youth independence organization of the Home Army “Orlęta.” During the attempt to arrest the priest, officers of the Security Bureau beat him up and abducted him. The Curia of the Bishop of Chełmno set up a committee, the aim of which was to explain all the circumstances of the nightly events in Konarzyny. Eventually, the Military Regional Court in Gdańsk sentenced the priest Feliks Ożga for 8 years in prison for his anti-Polish activity. After he was released from jail, the priest did not give up his activity, which entailed further repressions.
