The most orthodox catholics sometimes do a very bad job for view of Poland in foreign countries.
They can be very shouty, and almost blindly fanatised.
Some people can imagine it's normal.
NO!
In Poland they have status of just a couple of the most fanatised believers (mostly old aged, and ashame for normal Catholics.
I'm not a Catholic, but Im not against this faith, and I have a lot of Catholic friends.
90% of Polish community are Catholics?
I think it's a way overrated.

Yeah dude. I was there last summer, and I saw a Corpus Christi proccesion, pilgrimage to Jasna Gora, and the Black Madonna, which was a really powerful and emotional experince. I knew about it, and knew it was important to Polish Catholics, but didn't really know why, or how powerful it was until I actually saw it. I went there to film a segment for my documentary, and when I saw the painting, and all these people praying to it, I just broke out in tears, 'cuz it was just so powerful.

yeah, i love how she says that all of Poland was Catholic and Polish, which kept Poland together. she completely ignores the fact that at the time Poland was less than 50% Polish. There were huge minorities of Belorussians, Russians, Ukrainians, Ruthenians. Not to mention the largest Population of Jews in the world at the time. it's just a complete willing blindness to the realities of history in the name of national(ist) pride.

I have to admit that Krakow is not my favourite place in Poland, nevertheless the video is still pretty simplistic, full of outrageous generalisations and slightly odd. Really misses to get insight into anythin. Also, each time the misguided tourguide opens her mouth to offer a bit of fast food lesson in history i can't help to roll my eyes.

I went to Krakow about 10 years ago, it was gorgeous! I was 17 at the time and should have appreciated it more. I have some family that lives there and it was interesting to see the cultural difference. I'd like to go visit Warsaw and party it up, then Zakopane and ski my face off.

My grandfather spent childhood rebuilding Warsaw. Started age 12. Son he cursed commies his entire life, so stop this babble please. Commies knew only how to turn people into cynical animals.

75% practiced. Nowadays it's 39-40% Hope it will be lower and lower. Catholicism isn't a good thing for Poles. Just look what Counter-Reformation done to this poor country!

Visited Krakow a few weeks ago. Lovely city. So much to see and do. Friendly people and good food at good prices. Also got to visit the Tatras. Would definitely go back.
