Summary/Abstract: The article presents the views of the Catholic clergy of the interwar period on selected aspects of the changes taking place in contemporary Polish society regarding religiosity, morality, the family, and the upbringing of younger generations. This analysis, which is preliminary and survey-oriented, discusses only some aspects of these issues in the context of the interwar Catholic renewal movements. The article is based on clergymen’s statements – primarily from the two former annexed territories: Prussian and Russian – included in the pages of two monthly magazines (influential and opinion-forming in the clerical milieu): Wiadomości dla Duchowieństwa published in Poznań, and Wiadomości Archidiecezjalnych Warszawskich published in Warsaw.
