Bogumił Woźniakowski, Free thought Forum, January 2026
After any perturbations and with a period of delay, the latest 107th issue of the Forum for Free thought is available, including an highly interesting text by Bogumił Woźniakowski "From Sorowicki to Krajski, a thing about Polish masonage". The reason for his writing was 225 not a very glorious anniversary which took place last year erstwhile the court proceeding was published Mémoires pour servir à l’Histoire du Jacobinisme by French priest Augustin Barruel (1741-1820), a fierce masonry enemy. This book has become a Bible for years, not only for the enemies of masonry, but besides for all conservatives afraid about the ideas of social and political modernisation. Polish edition came out in Warsaw under the changed title The Sacred Secrets of Massonia, although to confuse censorship on the title card the Lviv were given. The initiator and author of the Polish version was Karol Surowiecki (1754-1824). The date of its release in 1805 can be symbolically considered as the beginning of the Polish anti-Masonian publicist, which continues continuously to this day. In the sketch, the author presents more and little well-known characters who in the Polish backyard have cultivated and proceed to cultivate anti-Masonian art, combining it invariably with fierce anti-Semitism.
