**Poland remains loyal to the Vatican **
The strong position of the Catholic Church in Poland is not under threat, writes Miroslaw Czech, adding that the election victory of the liberal-conservative Civic Platform (PO) won’t change this. "For the Church, the PO government and its wide support among the country’s younger generation holds out the prospect that Poland won’t share the fate of other Catholic countries like Spain or Ireland, where the process of secularisation has been particularly rapid.
Under the PO government, Poland will remain ‘forever loyal’ to Christ and the Vatican for a long time to come. Poland is not joining the European trend of secularisation and the renunciation of the fundamentals of Catholic ethics. Over the coming years, there will be no major shake-ups. Life will continue at a comfortable pace with baptisms, first communions, weddings and funerals."
