Summary/Abstract: Nearly 30 years of the religious instruction in the state school system seems to be sufficient time to try to summarize and attempt an evaluation of the functioning of the Polish model. The scope of this summary and evaluation shall be limited to, broadly speaking, the presence of the Catholic religious instruction in the state school system. Any changes in the system of religious instruction are, due to their nature as questions pertaining to worldview and therefore especially sensitive, subject to mostly political and not content-related decisions. And the present political situation is, as mentioned above, especially unfavorable toward content-related discussion in that regard.
