Abstract

Patriotism is a phenomenon that has experienced a renaissance in Poland over the last few years. This “sign of the times” was noticed by Polish Catholic bishops who, in 2017, have published the document entitled “The Christian Shape of Patriotism”. The aim of this paper is to present the most important thoughts arising from this document, which emphasizes, first of all, the significant difference between noble patriotism and egoistic nationalism. It seems that these social reflections of the Polish Bishops’ Conference should reach a wider audience (also German-speaking readers) and this is the purpose of this article.
