The difference being catholicism has been one of the cornerstones of polish culture whereas germans never been to obsessed about it even less protestants.

Poland pushed the soviets out of their country in the late 50's, but the Soviet troops never left Germany.

Poland is basically the France of WARSAW

Communist education was really effective on them.
They used to be the bastion of Protestantism in Germany, Luther was from there as well.

Now most of them aren't even baptized while in West Germany basically all Germans get baptized at birth even if they don't really practice their religion later on

Shame this blew in our faces eventually.
In the 90s you would be lucky if there was a standing place at the mass.
Today churches have become empty to the point where each attending believer has enough room to lie down on the sitting bench.

Hell, you know what is the mass attendance in Providence Temple, Warsaw largest catholic church? 40-50 people, even during the most convenient of hours.

But is it really worse than catholicism?
You should know better than me, after all it was the Papal State which declared unified Italy to be a non-country out of sheer butthurt over lost territories.

>>75409643
It's still better than the rest of Europe I guess but yeah, you're right tho, Poland secularised quite much since the 90s.

>>75409721
that concerns the temporal authority of the pope as a king, it's not related to catholic culture

>>75409721
Both churches are top cucks, so personally I support neither.

>>75409643
You're saying like it is a bad thing.

>>75409946
Well, catholicism did became our defining trait as a culture.

And the bad thing about this recent shift is that our church behaves as if ignoring these issues will make them go away on their own.
Trust me, it won't.

Fuck you
