Why are Polish so conservative and religious? [240]
"Conservative and religious" does not involve just Roman Catholicism; I assure you. In fact, for example, Liozna (then part of Polish Lithuania) and Podolskie were where Haredi Judaism was founded.
If Poland is so "brainwashed", how come they were one of the more-successful countries in a lot of matters? They even had John Paul the Second, possibly the descendant of a
kohenet (Allegedly, Kaczorowska may be "[daughter of] Katzorovski". Even more so, "Katz rov" could be a connection to "כ"צ וראב" or "
kohen tzedek v'rav". In Ashkenazi Hebrew and standard Yiddish, "rov" is "Rav" or "Rabbi" or "great". So, John Paul's maternal family may well have come from a rabbi who was a
kohen, a great man, or both.).
The globalization and foreign business may well be attributable to
Poylishn Yidn in part. For example, the late Warner Brothers and Billy Wilder (significant men in one of the catalysts for globalization, Hollywood) were from
Poylisher Yiddish families who were very religious.
I give one solid example:
If you happen to go to the theater recently and be spectate to "Miłosć Blondynki". You'll see that the Polish are becoming more liberal, refined. Public partial nudity has become acceptable albeit to get the sales up, but still, it's a start I think.
Seeing a 1965 film for the first time is really "liberal"
