How did the Polish Catholic Church get so much power?

In Poland, the relationship between Catholic Church and the government has historically been complex and invisible, with many things happening behind closed doors. From historical persecution to legislative influence, ‪@KrytykaPolitycznaTV‬ went to experts to investigate how the Church systematically built its authority, culminating in moments like the 1993 abortion law: they speak to Agnieszka Graff, lecturer and publicist, and Marcin Kościelniak author of “Abortion and Democracy”.
