Poland: The bishops are sounding the alarm

On March 29, 2012, in Warsaw, the Polish bishops released a 70 page document titled “Out of Concern for People and for the Common Good.” In this document they warn their countrymen against the loss of Christian values in society, stating that “the country is at a turning point in its evolution.”

The bishops discuss the negative demographic curve and the international economic crisis.

They single out radical capitalism and maintain that the economy must be at the service of people and respect moral rules.

They denounce the “serious problem” of emigration of Poles leaving to work abroad.

This report, produced by the Polish Episcopal Conference (KEP), concludes that “despite many commendable achievements, a grave crisis threatens: a crisis of values which have maintained national unity for centuries.” Without these values, “ultimately the existence of Poland itself is threatened.”
