Zum ersten Mal in der Geschichte der CBOS-Forschung nehmen die meisten Schüler der letzten Klassen weiterführender Schulen nicht an der Schulkatechese teil. Der "Jugend 2025" Der Bericht zeigt, dass 35 Prozent der Befragten am Religionsunterricht teilnehmen und 65 Prozent erklären, dass sie diesen nicht besuchen. Dies ist ein weiterer Rekordrückgang bei der Besucherzahl.

I actually find it surprising that any young people still attend Catholic services.
Given how the Catholic Church has behaved in relation to the sexual scandals and the plethora of theological issues with their recent behaviour I am surprised anyone still has faith in the organisation.
Only reason I went was the shitstorm at home after I tried to sign out of this 10+ years ago.
You learn nothing, you don’t care, you just waste time. It’s mostly either early in the morning or late in the afternoon, while I had nearly 40hrs of lessons in the entire week, it’s a lot to put up with.
Instead of Catholic instruction we should have rigorous, diverse religious education like the rest of the civilised world.
Also, from what family has told me, catechism teachers do not want to engage with students about modern problems they are facing: being anything other than straight, premarital sex, contraception, etc. They get upset or impatient when students ask questions. Catholicism in Poland is still insanely conservative, not only in theology but in the way they interact with a changing society.
most of the time religion in liceum is genuinely useless lol, even the religious people i know don’t go because by that point you’ll have already taken all the sacraments, and you can just go to your local church on sundays instead of staying longer at school 🤷
Good news.
I hope to see it drops below 10% in next decade.
Finally. I remember being told back in late 1990 – early 2000s that Catholic Church would eventually lose support. We’ll, the time mas long and I still don’t trust them to really drop religion.
My question is what instead. I’m not sure if leaving empty space here is good idea.
I’m catholic but I don’t support the church in Poland in its current state. Way too political (often telling people to vote for Pis during sermons, often demonizing ecology, animal rights, queer people – which goes against the „love thy neighbor like you love yourself“ commandment), money hungry and acts like a mafia. I don’t think any catholic church has as much influence on a country as the one in Poland
Polish catholics seem to hate any pope after John Paul II and don’t seem to abide by the Vatican’s teachings, it feels like a whole new branch of Christianity at this point
As a student.
I’m just not Catholic, but I’m still religious. I assume its just that the teachers are no longer protectors, second parents, and so on. Those who are teaching religion should be there fer students emotionally, but they are just rigid, strict, unavailable, asking them seems scary. I used to have a nice teacher, but she died, later I had a bad teacher, then I had another nice. I don’t see the current teacher as good, so I eventually decided to not go to religion.
I think students are mostly trying to avoid religion due to bad associations caused by bad teachers and controversies.
This is what happens when you create an educated society. Theology goes out the window, and let’s be honest, pagan holidays are much more fun and have always been there, just hijacked with Christian branding.
because a religion lesson is, quite literally, a waste of time in already fucked up time schedules the kids have. i remember when in my 1st liceum year i had to stay at school until 17;00. or maybe even longer.
even without the pedo scandals and rydzyk, what is there to gain for a young kid in catechism. sit there for an hour while an old lady (who prolly isn’t even qualified to actually teach you half the time) insults you?
Hallelujah
Interesting. I finished high school in 2010, and throughout my school years there was only 1 student who did not participate in religion lessons, and she was paradoxically the most religious of us all – but not catholic.
Nature is healing
That’s great, maybe someday we’ll be able to completely throw out all that religious nonsense from schools
To be fair any kid who had option to opt out of any class would do it for math, physics etc, it’s not adequate example of why religion in school is bad
