	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Poland (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		Poland revolted from the empire, and the Polish Church began a reform in accordance with Gregory's decrees.
		Cracow, where the manifesto of the insurrection was published, was permanently occupied by the Austrians; the Austrian Government incited the peasants against the insurgents, and, as a bounty was furthermore offered for every corpse, the peasants attacked the residences of the nobility, set them on fire, and inhumanly massacred "the lords" (altogether 2000 nobles).
		The Church of Poland took part, it is true, in the Synod of Constance, at which Hus was burnt, but had not the strength to oppose effectively the reactionary tendency of the nobility, which sought to use heresy as a counterpoise to the influence of the Church.

	Cracow - Poland
		Cracow, old, tired and dispirited, speaks and thinks only of the ruinous past.
		When you drive into Cracow from the station for the first time, you are breathless, smiling, and tearful all at once; in the great Ring-platz—a mass of old buildings—Cracow seems to hold out her arms to you—those long sides that open from the corner where the cab drives in.
		At the same time, I can only record faithfully my impression, and that was that everything new, everything mod-ern, was hopelessly out of tone in Cracow; progress, which, tho desirable, may be a vulgar thing, would not suit her, and does not seem at home in her streets.
