Summary/Abstract: The author highlights three questions concerning the integration of Poland with the European Union: frstly, the attitude of the Catholic Church towards European integration; secondly, the attitude of the Poles to the integration with the European Union; thirdly, social and religious consequences of European integration for Poland. The conducted sociological analyses have disclosed the attitudes – not completely accurate but hopefully close to the real ones – of the Poles towards European integration, expected effects and some of the anxieties. European integration has given the Poles, especially the younger ones, a lot of chances, but it has brought new threats and challenges, unknown before the accession of Poland to the EU.
