Sławomir Cenckiewicz, the Head of the National Security Bureau and Secretary of State in the Polish presidential chancellery, was received by Pope Leo XIV and various Vatican prelates, including Cardinal Parolin, and he mentioned the Mass in the Roman rite.
On 6 September, Cenckiewicz posted on Facebook: "If you think that during my two visits to the Vatican and my private conversations with prelates, there was no mention of Catholic tradition and the injustice of Traditionis Custodes, you are mistaken..."
Cenckiewicz has been in office since 7 August. His expertise is modern Polish history, including communist-era security services, political dissidence, emigration, and post-1989 security issues.
He mentioned that he had offered "filial homage to the Vicar of Christ", visited the rooms in which St Pius X had lived and worked, and admired paintings by great masters such as El Greco, Dürer and Caravaggio.
