When Poland’s Law and Justice party (PiS) was returned to government on October 13, Church leaders were cautious in their public comments. While most bishops will be privately relieved, they will also be wary of the challenges ahead.
“Neither they nor the Church as a whole speak with one voice now, and there are certainly opposition supporters among them,” explained Malgorzata Glabisz-Pniewska, a senior presenter with Polish Radio. “Although the media present things in black and white, suggesting close reciprocal Church ties with PiS, the reality is much more nuanced.”
