About this sermon
A new report says the government in Poland is seeking to reduce the number of hours for religion classes in public schools. The report in Poland Today says the courses are optional but most pupils attend them. Still, one government official says 2 hours a week learning about religion is "excessive". This is the latest conflict between Poland's new government and the Catholic Church. Lawmakers also are considering measures to loosen abortion restrictions and to introduce measures for so-called equality for LGTBQ students. Europe Correspondent for the National Catholic Register, Solene Tadie, joins to tell us more about the religion classes and how long they have been taught in public schools in Poland. The Church in Poland has called the government's plans to reduce the hours of religious classes an infringement of human rights. It has also been noted that this change could result in job loss for thousands of religious teachers. Tadie shares more about that and also how the faithful in Poland are reacting to this. Tadie discusses more about the ruling party in Poland that is behind this change in curriculum. She fills us in on what impact the government is having on the Church. ------------ EWTN News Nightly provides the latest news and analysis from a Catholic perspective.
