Summary/Abstract: The Author highly recommends discussing the peculiarities of current Polish democratic system with strong relation to national and religious identities.

Why and what variants of these identities are less engaged in social and cultural process; 3. How these identities are related to the values and institutions of Polish Catholicism; 4. How these social identities are articulatedon the level of the whole society and on the level of special individual and collective actors(party leaders, intellectuals).
