The main principles of the reform include the introduction of a new general program of education and lowering of the age when the implementation of compulsory education of the children can start. The changing of the general education curriculum entailed changing of the catechesis curriculum of the Catholic Church in Poland in 2001, and thus - to change curricula and books to teach religion. In this article author presents these new documents and books, and describes the process of exchange. The studies used tests that show the current status of numerical catechists in the Archdiocese of Warmia ant the calculation of the religious teachers who use various programs and textbooks. The author refers to the proposed theme of new textbooks and notes on a wide range of issues contained therein. In addition he discussed the major problems of young people, especially in the context of many current existential and metaphysical questions. New programs and books are certainly helpful in a critical assessment of current threats and the world of universal values, but also to deepen the knowledge of the religion and to give rise to the integral education of the younger generation.</p> ER -
