Summary/Abstract: The text is a review of the book Bluźnierstwo. Między grzechem a przestępstwem by Andrzej Draguła, a priest and Doctor of Theology. He reflects on the conflict between Catholic orthodoxy and liberal social practices in the domains of art and visual culture. Apart from the theological interpretation of blasphemy, the book presents numerous examples of controversial and iconoclastic works of art and commercials. The author also attempts to analyse in detail the features of criminal offences which are insulting for the feelings of religious believers (Par. 196 of Polish Criminal Code) – a contemporary, secular equivalent to blasphemy.
