Religion and Football should never be mixed. Football is far too important to be dragged down by something so trivial.

I will leave the second part of this statement without a comment, but I do agree with the first one. Religion and Football should never be mixed.

Regarding the conflict between Catholics and protestants in the UK, is it still about the religion? Do people fight one another because they believe in other God's, or have totally different customs, and beliefs? I don't think so. Quite frankly, if you take a careful look at the history of any religion conflict, you will see that it never was about peoples beliefs, but more about the money and power for the rulers.

We don't have to look far for a more modern example of this kind of situation...But since we are no longer allowed to talk about religion on this forum, as it seems to be a very sensitive subject, I will desist to continue this particular thread.

And to answer the original question of this topic:

Quoting: plg, Post #1
what are polish people's views on religion especially protestantism


Polish people treat their religion as something very private and intimate. Sure, we do like to discuss the main dogmas of our faith, the current churches status, it's views on homosexuals, contraception, the point of celibacy, etc...but nobody judges people of other beliefs. There's no hatred towards protestants, atheist, etc... It's probably due to a lack of any religion conflicts in the history of Poland.
As long as you won't try to convince that your beliefs are superior to your conversational partners, you are respected and there is no need to be scared of voicing some of your comments about catholic religion. Poles don't like to be agitated. That's why some of us are irritated with the Jehovah Witnesses, that frequently haunt our houses, and often tend to be very importunate.

In conclusion, you can wear your Rangers T-shirt in Poland, plg, without the fear of being attacked by some catholic orthodox.

Hmmm...It seems I was misinformed about Lutheranism in Poland. I thought all lutherans in Poland were Germans living there.

pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ko%C5%9Bci%C3%B3%C5%82_Ewangelicko-Augsburski_w_ RP

Does that page state that Józef Pi³sudski was Lutheran ?
I couldn't find that information in the English wikipedia.

Yeah I know it is in Polish. That's why I asked about Pi³sudski's religion because I know only a few words of Polish and that page is only Polish.


I am not going bigot or anything here, I was just curious.

I have read all the above statements with much interest. I was born Anglican and for you who should know better Anglicanism is not Protestanim. It is somewhat of a National Catholicism. I live in the US. I grew up in a city with 300,000 Poles. converted to the RC Church as a young man. married a Polish-American girl.. learned to speak Polish and for almost 40 years of married life imbibed Polish cooking, culture and language. I am proud of my Anglican heritage, but rejoice in my association with Polish Catholicism. Yes, I eat Pierogis. Golombki, and Kwasna Kapusta, Yes I go to Sw. Msza (Holy Mass) Yes I say Niech bede pochwalony Jesus Christus (Praise be to Jesus Christ) when greeting friends. I have never meant a more open and friendly group of people as Poles. I felt blessed to work as a refugee resettlement worker with international Caritas in welcoming people from Poland in the 1980's. If ever there were a Catholic group who suffered so much under foreign oppression as did the Poles and yet remained kind in their appraisal of other religions it would be the Poles. Witamy !!!!
