Material, Political and Postsecular Dimensions of Polish Catholicism.
Introduction
Keywords:
Poland, Catholicism, postsecular dimensionsAbstract
The set of works featured in this issue presents the most recent anthropological insights into Catholicism – a complex and varied phenomenon, which has proved fascinating for the researchers, as is apparent from this collection. The focus was on showing the multidimensionality of Catholicism and its many faces, especially on the fact that this denomination has not yet been sufficiently researched by anthropologists. The authors used the study of Polish Catholicism, which is incorrectly deemed homogeneous, as a starting point for outlining the directions of reflecting upon the creed and the multitude of possible approaches to interpreting it.
