INCREASINGLY LESS SINFUL - ON THE SIN IN YOUNG PEOPLES’ CONSCIOUSNESS
Abstract
Among European nations Poles are recognised as highly religious. Current declarations of religious
faith do not mean, however, that people’s religiousness meets the expectations and teaching
of Catholic Church. Sin is a notion relatively strongly fixed within the Christian and Catholic doctrine.
Contemporary culture is conducive to the decrease of the influence of this notion on consciousness
and religious and moral life. Sin as a notion is almost absent in a social sphere outside
the Church. Can it be found within an individual consciousness? This question, like those on the
condition of other religious notions, is interesting particularly in reference to young people, whose
consciousness is, on the one hand, under the influence of postmodern cultural values, and on the
other, has been equipped with some traditional, religious transmission. If a category of sin still remains,
then what are its versions and interpretations? What are its equivalents in a secularised
consciousness? Theoretical and methodological questions referring to the changes in interpretations
of the notions that played important roles in our culture are still a separate issue. The argument
that an exploration o f such a private sphere goes beyond the limits of sociology is not strong
enough to induce withdrawal of our interest from that part of human consciousness.
