Latin Culture of Poland and Catholicism

In order to better understand presented here thesis, I would like to send reader to the work of Feliks Koneczny. He looks at the cultures of Poland and her neighbors from the distance of the last millennia creating most complete view of culture and anthropology. He uses all available resources where most prominent are the chronicles countries involved. I would like to expand on the views of Koneczny beyond the one-thousand-year mark, as it is essential to know that Catholicism started in Poland as a formal religion thousand years ago and it is important on what background it was dropped. Presence of Slavs is dated on the territories of Poland, Europe and Mediterranean as far as the oldest known civilizations and possibly beyond - this is particularly visible using haplogroups DNA evidence. Not going into the details of the culture of Slavs from this old period, it is sufficient to know that politically it was pretty flat structure, there where kings, princes and leaders but they come from electorate in the elections organized in the form of rallies. Kids upbringing was based on truthfulness, righteousness and fighting skills. Basis of that culture was still intact till Catholicism era or about 1000AD. Now what principles of Catholicism and that of pagan Slavs have in common? Surprisingly a lot. As per Koneczny’s thesis, history is left not to a chance but rather to a slow processes of culture creation of people involved, here we have similar situation; culture of Slavs as pagans is based on freedom of individual and Catholicism is exactly that, you are free to make your decision based on common understanding of what ethic of every human is. Unlike other cultures, culture of Slaves was not tainted with the human blood of sacrifices and so is Catholicism, slavery was also not part of the culture. All this allow for relatively easy transfer into the catholic religion and its survival in Poland till today, that has no rival in Europe. Let’s compare the situation in our neighboring countries. Both Germany and Russia suffered in past from monarchical systems where monarch was unquestioned superior of lower casts people, slavery was a standard. Koneczny describes this well as Turanian civilization of Russia and Byzantium civilization of Germany. It is necessary also to mention third important civilization that played role here, it is Jewish civilization, with its relative ethics where good and bad can’t be defined. All three civilizations are incompatible with the culture of Slavs and absolute definition of ethics provided by first pagan and then Catholic culture of Slavs stationed in today’s Poland. I would also risk a statement that even democracy of Roman Empire (similar EU today) with its build-in corruption and cosmopolitanism is not a good base for Catholicism. Not only conscious decision of everyday life of us, humans define who we really are, but also (and perhaps more importantly) our subconscious being molds us into who we really are and what conscious decisions we are taking. That element of Poland and Poles was created through millennia and last few decades of modernism will not mold Poles into what rest of the World seems to becoming.
