description <span>In this article we deal with selected aspects of the social authority of Catholic Church in Polish society. We make an attempt – in light of chosen surveys of public opinion and sociological research – to describe this authority in some of its dimensions: declared trust to Catholic Church, commitment in political matters, social competences of Catholic Church, and the presence of religious symbols in the area of public life (secondary analysis of the results of empirical research). During the last years one can observe a slow process of specific “cooling” towards the strong authority of the so</span><span>cial Church which was to be seen at the threshold of the 20<sup><span style="font-size: xx-small;">th </span></sup><span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-size: xx-small;">and 21<sup><span style="font-size: xx-small;">st </span></sup><span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-size: xx-small;">and century. Perhaps, this process will feature with the growing tendency. The crisis of the social authority of the Church in Polish society seems to have had an impact on the crisis of religious authority and vice versa, even if the power of this mutual impact cannot be empirically measured in a precise way.</span></span></span></span></span>
