Life / Why are Polish so conservative and religious? [240]

It is silly to use a single measure either mass attendance or receipt of the sacrament to judge the degree of religiosity because religion is not a science. The Catholic church may have rules it also believes in the concepts of sin and forgiveness these can be used to explain and excuse anything.

Religion is deeply embeded in Polish culture much more than the outward signs of mass attendance would suggest.

While I agree that using a single metric to measure is silly I do think that the failure to receive the sacrament on a daily basis is slightly more revealing. If these people truly believed in the sacrament why would they not want to receive it as often as allowed?
