Poll show two fifths of Polish Catholics view their religion in a highly personalized manner.

The Public Opinion Research Center, has just published results of a survey concerning the attachment of Polish Catholics to their Church and its religion. The majority of respondents - 55% - identify themselves with the Church in the religious dimension, claiming they are devoted believers who fully adhere to its teachings. Another large group - 39% - is comprised of declared believers, but they treat their religiousness very individually.

The remaining 6% could not clearly define their status.
