Polish modernism that "wasn’t": features, trends, participa

A movement aimed at modernizing both the Church itself and its relationships with society took place in the Roman Catholic Church in the late XIXth and early XXth centuries. It manifested itself in a variety of different, but interconnected forms in the territories of European states and Poland. Polish modernism is unknown in Russia. The goal was to use historical research methods to compile a general portrait of it. The sources and scientific research of Modernism by Polish scientists are involved. The author concludes that the Polish version of Catholic modernism, the existence of which was long denied, reflected like a mirror all the forms inherent in the phenomenon of Christian modernism of the late XIXth and early XXth centuries in Catholic Europe and Orthodox Russia.
