Summary/Abstract: This text presents the analysis of the results of research conducted by the Institute of Catholic Church Statisticsin 2022 in the Archdiocese of Wrocław in relation to faith. The respondents were asked about their faith inboth the subjective and objective dimensions, i.e. their attitude towards selected truths of faith. This studywas a continuation of a similar study that took place in this diocese in 2011. The results of the latest studyshow several significant and interesting changes. They confirm the fundamental downward trend in thevalue of religiosity indicators throughout Poland, but the changes that have taken place in the Archdioceseof Wrocław over the last 11 years show a clear acceleration of this trend. Changes in the religious attitudesof respondents based on various socio-demographic characteristics turned out to be interesting. One of themost important changes, noticeable thanks to this study, concerns the attitudes of rural and urban residents,that are starting to become similar in many respects.
