Article Claims Less Than 25% of Young People in Poland Practice Their Faith | EWTN News Nightly

About this sermon

Voters in Poland are heading to the polls next month in a general election that will be crucial to the country's approach to migration. It could also be a referendum on pro-life laws and the Catholic Church. The vote comes as a recent article says less than 25% of young people in Poland regularly practice their religion. That's down from around 70% in the early 1990s. The article adds that some of the faithful have lost trust in the Church amid allegations of clergy abuse and cover ups. EWTN Contributor Catherine Hadro recently spoke with a Catholic leader in Warsaw for his take on the faithful in Poland. EWTN's Regional Manager for Central and Eastern Europe, Iwo Bender, joins to tell us more about the close relationship between the Catholic Church and Poland and why the country has been seen as a stronghold for the faith. Bender shares what trends he is seeing regarding young people and the Church and whether there is cause for concern. He explains what the article's claims are for why people are leaving the Church. Bender discusses how priestly vocations are doing in Poland. He fills us in on the state of the Church in Poland, especially relative to other European countries like Germany, France and Holland. ------------ EWTN News Nightly provides the latest news and analysis from a Catholic perspective.
