Poland and Polish Discussion Group and Forum

Welcome to the original English language Poland and Polish discussion group board. This message forum is a place where English-speaking Poles, foreigners (expats) living in Poland, and anyone with a genuine interest in Poland can discuss and read the views of others concerning Poland. Subjects include: Polish news and current affairs; Life in Poland; politics; genealogy research; Polish culture and history; advice and tips on visiting Poland; Polish property and investment issues. The aim of our group is to increase awareness of wonderful Poland using the English language and allow and foster the honest debate and exchange of opinions on anything vaguely related to Poland and Polish - positive, negative and/or neutral! This discussion group is not an open-to-all public message board. Membership is by invitation only and therefore given that a fairly limited number of people have full access, it is more of a community blog than a straightforward forum. This application system was brought in to lessen the amount of spam and nonsensical and commercial posts made by casual visitors and off-topic and offensive posts left by a disruptive minority. To ask  a one-off question about Poland or respond to comments made on this board without a password just email us and provided it is at least halfway sensible, we'll post it on the board for all to see and current members will try to respond! All opinions and views expressed on this site are solely those of their respective authors and are not necessarily those of anyone else!

Influence of Catholic Church Waning?

Warsaw, Feb. 20, 2008 (CWNews.com) - In an article entitled “McFaith," Newsweek Poland claims that the influence of the Catholic Church in Poland is waning.

The Newsweek Poland story includes a survey by the firm SMG/KRC, in which ¾ of Polish respondents claim to be Catholic yet 74% support in-vitro fertilization, 73% contraception, and 61% sex outside of marriage. In other news, an article by the Polish magazine Przeglad indicates that almost half of Polish respondents support religion classes in public schools. A survey conducted between December 27, 2007 and January 3, 2008 that included 1,050 people found that 13% of respondents support mandatory religion classes in public schools while 35% favor optional religion classes in public schools. More than half of respondents believe that religion classes improve a child’s formation.

I do not believe this to be true.

Newsweek is full of sensationalist articles. It is what sells magazines. The magazine Polityka is a better and more informed source of news.
