Warsaw - The Polish bishops want to "urgently" meet with the new government, said the co-chairman of the Joint State-Church Commission, Archbishop Slawoj Leszek Glodz, according the news agency, Kathpress.
According to the daily newspaper "Dziennik" the bishops are concerned with among other things, the question of religion as a school subject and the regulation of in-vitro fertilization. On both issues, there are clear statements by politicians of the Civic Platform (PO).
The Deputy Education Minister Krystyna Szumilas said that her department will not do anything about religion as a school graduation subject.
The Health Minister Ewa Kopacz has announced government grants for the artificial insemination.
The church reacted sharply to both statements. As Archbishop Glodz said, the episcopate will try to press the government for change. Education Minister Katarzyna Hall sees no obstacles in principle, to religion as a school graduation specialist subject. Much more difficult will it be concessions from the government in the announced support of the in vitro fertilization to achieve.
A meeting of the Church-State Commission is not yet planned. The new government has not appointed a co-chairmen of the Commission.
