| Summary: | Modernity has modified and significantly limited the role of religion. Idea of the disappearance of religion and replacing it by the knowledge became the foundation of the concept of secularisation. However radical theory of secularisation, providing the general disappearance of religion and its contradiction with the modernization, has lost its focus at the end of the 20th century. It does not mean that there is no place for religion even in modern societies. Moreover, the strength of religion institutions and their relationship with the secular authority is not the same in different countries. In the literature Poland is presented as one of the few countries where religion plays an important role in public life, and the Church is a very influential institution. However the ideas of secularisation were not completely indifferent to the evolution of modern Polish society. The introduction of a democratic system in Poland after 1989 opened a new chapter in the relationship between the spiritual (the Catholic Church) and secular authority (the State), at the same time, starting with a discussion about the presence of the first entity in the public sphere and its role. Author tires to describe the relationship between religion institution and the Polish State in this new reality. |
