By this time, Polish Catholics had had enough. Waldemar Krakow, a previously relatively unknown pastor at a small church in Warsaw, rose to power as the leader of a new illegal political party called the Akcja Katolicka Partia Polski (AKPP), or the Catholic Action Party of Poland. Originally, the party wanted an independent state in the west of Poland that was based on their reigion, but decided against it when they realized that it would be quickly annexed back by Poland, backed by the other allied communistic states. After gaining much more support, Krakow realized that the only way to guarantee Catholic rule, was to depose Chairman Jablonski and install a new theocratic government over all of Poland.
