Sex Out of Wedlock

Rzeczpospolita reports the Polish public is moving away from Catholic attitudes toward marriage and sexuality, according to new survey results published in the newspaper.

The poll found that 66% of the respondents accept sexual relations between an unmarried man and woman. Nine percent of the respondents said that they were currently involved in sexual affairs outside marriage.

In the poll, 33% said that a marriage blessed by the Catholic Church is important. Another 32% said that marriage is important in itself, regardless of whether or not the Church has recognized the union.

33% believe that the use of contraception is always acceptable.
