Abstract
Neste artigo, procurouse mostrar os aspectos escolhidos da religiosidade polonesa, que no olhar superficial parece durável e bastante estável, especialmente no que diz respeito à autodeclaração de fé, à filiação à Igreja e aos ritos de passagem, tornando a Polônia um certo fenómeno na perspectiva da Europa secularizada. No entanto, esta estabilidade da religiosidade nativa parece ser um pouco ilusória, uma vez que também podemos notar uma atitude seletiva e eclética dos poloneses frente a esfera religiosa. As tendências emergentes de secularização obrigam a Igreja Católica polonesa a tomar novas iniciativas, como, por exemplo, encontros de jovens em Lednica, que correspondem a performances contemporâneas da cultura pop que consolidam as emoções. A questão é em que medida tais iniciativas, referentes à cultura pop, podem reviver hoje o compromisso religioso dos poloneses.In this article, an attempt was made to show the chosen aspects of the Polish religiosity, which in superficial examination seems durable and quite stable, especially regarding the self-declaration of faith, affiliation to the Church and rites of passage, making Poland it a certain phenomenon in the view of secularized Europe. However, this stability of the native religiosity appears to be somewhat illusory, since we can also notice a selective and eclectic attitude of Poles towards the religious sphere. The emerging secularization tendencies force the Polish Catholic Church to take new initiatives, like, for example, meetings of young people in Lednica, which correspond to contemporary pop culture performances consolidating emotions. The question is to what extent such initiatives, referring to pop culture, may revive nowadays the religious commitment of Poles.
