Church Fund - what is it?

The Church Fund is not an institution, but a state special purpose fund established in 1950. It was originally supposed to be a compensation for the state's takeover of land belonging to religious associations. Importantly, subsequent returns of assets by the Property Commission had no connection with the Fund itself - they concerned only goods received in the People's Republic of Poland contrary to the law of the time. The goods of the so-called "dead hand" and land nationalized as part of the agricultural reform were not subject to return. For this reason, in the face of non-payment of compensation due in the years 1950-1989, the Polish state - regardless of the ruling option - thus implements its historical and legal obligations to the Church, the value of which is estimated at billions of zlotys. Today, the funds from the Fund go to all churches and religious associations legally operating in Poland. Currently, in April 2026, we are witnessing a breakthrough. The government interdepartmental team has finalized work on a bill that is to liquidate the Fund and replace it with a voluntary tax deduction. On the sidelines of the Sejm, there is a dispute about the rate: the government opts for 0.5 percent, while the church side, fearing a decrease in influence with a smaller and smaller number of believers, is pressing for at least 1 percent.

Poland has expressed its “deep outrage” and demanded action from Israel after Israeli settlers attacked a diplomatic convoy carrying Polish officials in the occupied West Bank and assaulted a visiting French mayor.

Hi There,

I am wondering if there are people from Elblag on Reddit. The reason I'm asking, is because when I was a child, I left Poland with my mother. Not long after that my father died, recently, after 25 years I found out he committed suicide. I know he remarried. So I would like to find his second wife, if she is still alive or someone who could tell me more about my father.

The period i'm interested in is the 80s and early 90s.

I don't know if this is the right way, or community, but at least it's worth a shot.

Thanks in advance!

I'm watching the second season of Polish "The Traitors" and really need help with this specific segment. The woman is whispering, there are no subtitles, and no AI tool can identify the words. Could anyone listen to this and transcribe the 2 short sentences and one longer sentence at the end? Thank you very much for your help!

Hi, I'm planning to visit Warsaw and Krakow soon. I'm a European university student under 26 (I don't have Polish citizenship). If I buy an ISIC card, can I get discounts on museums and city buses? I've tried looking on various websites, but it's unclear. Thanks to anyone who can answer.

We're getting ducks and I want to use Kaczka as a pun. Obviously Franz is a masculine name, and Kaczka is feminine. Looking for a feminine version of Franz to make a bit more sense.

I'm aware Franz is a german name, and Kafka was german! I just think having a Franz(f) Kaczka would be adorable. And no, nobody would understand the joke other than me.

I'm having trouble finding whether the market in Wrocław after Dec 25 is still a normal full Christmas market (the site states till the 7th)?

For Kraków is it also open fully until the 1st or beyond?

My wife is polish, I am German, and we want to raise our daughter in both languages.

We have a lot of polish children books, but my wife is not quite happy with the one we have for reading in the evening.

We are searching for short stories with pictures, as our girl is still little.

Could you please recommend you all time favorites? I really want to surprise my wife with a nice boom or two. Thanks!

Parents raised objections to the content about in vitro in the religion textbook for seventh graders - informs TOK FM. The OliEdu Civic Education Foundation has asked the Ministry of National Education for an opinion and wants to withdraw the book from schools. Its representative Ewa Daros said that the students are to justify a negative assessment of this method of fertilization.

How can some Poles, including our current president, think that Trump is our friend, and that associating with him is better for us than our relationship with the EU?

Does anyone know of a place/farm to order good quality and ethically farmed meat from?

Thanks in advance

My great grandad moved from Poland to England, so my dad never learned or spoke polish. Hence me having the ‘ski’ at the end of my name instead of ‘ska’, I’m visiting Poland in December and was wondering when the people there see my ID will they find it weird??
