Summary/Abstract: Being Polish is the main topic of an interview with Jarosław Marek Rymkiewicz conducted by the Political Theology editors. According to Rymkiewicz, some political elites view being Polish as a stigma that should be eliminated or at least erased, whereas for an “ordinary man” Polishness is the source of mental strength. This dichotomy is destructive for Poland – “the community of fate”.
