Councilor Nowak, known for her controversial statements in support of the Church, said on the radio that “for at least 30 years there has been a growing wave of criticism of priests and clergy.” “There is always a terrible situation, because a priest or a nun, but most often a priest, has done something wrong,” she said. “So how can you send children to such classes?” Nowak asked.

He added that the religious classes now taught in schools are a result of the regulations implementing the concordat. “They say these classes are too much – they are a terrible effort that tires the child,” said the former curator.
She also referred to the Ministry of National Education’s plans to reduce the number of hours of religion in schools. “This whole war and Mrs. Nowacka’s cries that ‘maximum one hour of religion in school, and if someone wants another hour, they can go to the catechism room’ is an arrogant approach to the law,” she said.
According to Councilor Nowak, decisions about the number of hours in schools can only be made by bishops.
