The Author of the article shows the role of the Catholic Action in the society threatened by secularisation. At first he discusses the concept of secularisation itself and presents its major manifestations. Next he characterises the primary features of the polish Catholicism and its position to the phenomenon of secularisation. In the last part the author draws attention to the role of the Catholic Action, which opposing the tendencies to abandon the spirit of the Gospel, has become „the moral conscious of society” in Poland.
