Abstract: The main purpose of this paper is to show the relation between the situation in Poland after 1989 and the Canadian experience. The paper demonstrates the diagnosis of the situation of the Church proposed by Jozef Tischner and the formula of secularisation put forward a few years later by Charles Taylor. The text addresses the question to what extent Taylor’s diagnosis indicates a change that takes place in modern society (including the Church) and whether Tischner’s formula was rejected by Polish society or, on the contrary, whether it foreshadowed the emancipation of modern man from the Church.
