NYTIMES/ MICHAEL SLACKMAN:
"Poland is still an overwhelmingly Roman Catholic nation, still conservative and still religious, especially when compared with its European neighbors. But supporters and critics of the Roman Catholic Church all acknowledge that the society is changing. They agree that church representatives in Poland have lost authority and credibility, and that much of the population is moving toward a more secular view of life, one with a greater separation between church and state, and a rejection of church mandates on individual morality."
AND: “Twenty years of freedom and religion is evaporating,” he said. “This is the crisis of Christianity in Poland,” said Szymon Holownia, program director for Religia TV. In Warsaw and Krakow, about 20 percent regularly attend Sunday Mass.
