Based on documents, Sawa was accused by some Polish historians of being a longtime associate of the communist Służba Bezpieczeństwa as early as mid 1960s in connection with operation "Byzantium" (Bizancjum), actively working under name of TW Jurek, during which he cooperated with communist authorities, leading a coordinated campaign against individual church members and the Orthodox church itself. He supported and worked with communist government for the purpose of advancing his career within the Church.^[3] However he denied those accusations.^[4]
