| Summary: | Much has been written about the role of the Roman Catholic Church in Polish history and the importance of Catholicism for Polish national culture and identity. One of the few things that the international public knows about Poland is that it is a religious country, dominated by Catholicism of a rather traditional variety. Yet this knowledge is rather superficial and highly mythologized. In Poland, the role of the Catholic Church, especially before communism, tends to be seen in a simplified way, dominated by the concept of a monolithic Polish Catholic nation. It is, therefore, very important that a serious, competent academic study of relations between the Polish state and the Catholic Church should be written., Neal Pease's book fills this gap admirably. |
