Summary/Abstract: It’s been 22 years since the return of religious education to the Polish school. Catechesis has become a normal part of the curriculum. It is often the most beloved subject, not only for children, and catechists are frequently the most liked teachers. Catechesis is also constantly in the limelight of the Church, who through it implements the mandate of Christ to “go and make disciples” (Matthew 28:19) and also reflects on her level. Religious education at school is at the same time accompanied by a very great interest of politicians and journalists. This article is an attempt to take stock of twenty-year presence of catechesis at school from the Church’s perspective, based on the existing summaries made recently, but in polemical tone for the selected publications.
