Abstract
At the Second Vatican Council, the Polish ex-primate, Cardi nal Wyszynski, spoke out against the introduction of the liturgy in the vernacular language, and went so far as to say that medieval latin was part of the traditions of the Polish people. A very popu lar Marian cult, the frequent wearing of clerical dress, if we just limit ourselves to outer appearances, make the Polish Catholic Church look like a citadel of conservatism.
