This volume brings together leading scholars to examine how the
Church has brought its values into the political sphere and, in the
process, alienated some of the younger generation. Since the
disintegration of the communist one-party state at the end of the
1980s, the Catholic Church has pushed its agenda to ban abortion,
introduce religious instruction in the state schools, and protect
Poland from secular influences emanating from the European Union.
As one of the consequences, Polish society has become polarized
along religious lines, with conservative forces such as Fr.
Rydzyk's Radio Maryja seeking to counter the influence of the
European Union and liberals on the left trying to protect secular
values. This volume casts a wide net in topics, with chapters on
Pope John Paul II, Radio Maryja, religious education, the Church's
campaign against what it calls "genderism," and the privatization
of religious belief, among other topics.
