Lay Men and Lay Women in the Institution of the Roman Catholic Church in Poland. Vertical and Horizontal Segregation in the Church Administrative Orga

Summary/Abstract: This paper presents the results of quantitative and qualitative research, concerning lay women’s and lay men’s positions in the particularistic and central structures of organization of the Roman Catholic Church in Poland. By an analysis of typical positions of lay women and lay men in the diocesan curias, institutions linked with curias, as well as the structures of Polish Episcopal Conference, I have made an attempt to reconstruct the vertical and horizontal segregation in the church organizations. Church in my analysis is understood as a social institution and organization. I define gender as social category, institutionalized and intersectional, going beyond its biological and dichotomous understanding.
