Abstract

Abstract The article describes inter-religious relations in the Polish Armed Forces between years 1918 and 1939. The Polish Constitution compelled Catholics and the representatives of all other religions to military service. The pastoral care was provided by the Bishop's Curia – the Field Bishop's Curia (for Catholics) or the Department of Non-Catholic Religions – the Bureau of Non-Catholic Religions of the Ministry of Military Affairs (for non-Catholics). At the end of the 1920s there were over 100 full-time and 30 auxiliary Catholic military chaplains, accompanied by 35 full-time and 20 auxiliary non-Catholic chaplains.
