CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Poland (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07) |
 | | Poland revolted from the empire, and the Polish Church began a reform in accordance with Gregory's decrees. |
 | | 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. |
 | | Kozlowska, generally called "mateczka" (little mother), placed herself at the head of both the male and female branches of the association; she was regarded as a saint, and her followers even ascribed miracles to her. |
