Stanislaw Wielgus, who will be sworn in this weekend as archbishop of Warsaw, is seen here in Plock in November 2006. Wielgus was a "secret and conscious" collaborator with Poland's hated communist-era security forces, newspapers have reported.
Yahoo More at Wikipedia and http://www.poland.pl: "Controversy over Archbishop Wielgus still boiling. Many Polish clergy and reportedly the Vatican don't believe Archbishop Wielgus was a communist spy; journalists promise to produce documents."
According to Gazeta Polska Archbishop Wielgus was one of the most important communist spies in the Catholic Church. He is supposed to have started collaboration back in the 1960s and worked initially for the department dedicated to destroying the Catholic Church. Allegedly, he agreed to cooperation with the communist services in exchange for an opportunity to pursue his scientific career abroad. See Free Republic for the best about the controversy
The Vatican: "On the subject of the accusations launched by the Polish media against Archbishop Stanislaw Wielgus, the presidency of the Polish Episcopal Conference draws attention to the public injury that has been inflicted against a specific person's right to a good reputation." source
