Summary/Abstract: The 25th anniversary of polish legislative election of 1989 resulted in conflicts that Poland has never seen before. The area of this dispute goes through the borders of politics, religion and worldview. The emerging question is: should the disputation on ‘gender ideology’, „Golgota Picnic”, the doctors’ declaration of faith, the clause of conscience and the case of professor Bogdan Chazan be treated as a forecast of a culture war? Why is there so much controversy on the topics of abortion, civil partnerships, correctness of works of art or significance of the family? Are we the witnesses of a real and painful culture war? If we are, then in what stadium of the conflict? Can the culture war be ended in a peaceful way? Analysis on the culture-political events should give some initial answers to these questions.
