Over the last ten years, the Church in Poland has lost 6.6 million Catholics per the latest census. That's 660 thousand a year, and probably more, since the rate is increasing.

Among the young, the lost has been especially devastating. A recent poll showed that only 9 percent of young Poles have a positive view of the Church. The main reasons are the Church's embrace of the far-right ruling party and far-right organizations, its ultra-aggressive anti-LGBT campaign, and its opposition to abortion and reproductive health care, corruption, as well as sexual and financial scandals too numerous to count.
