An Island of Religion in a Sea of Secularism
At Reuters, Kacper Pempel, a photographer, chronicles her time spent traveling around Poland taking photographs depicting Polish people demonstrating their Catholic faith. Pempel notes the growing divide between devout Catholics and the increasingly popular secular movement: “Looking back on the months I spent recording Poland’s Catholics, I’m struck by their devotion, and the lengths to which they are prepared to go to show that devotion to God. At the same time, I’m also struck by how wary they are, an island of religion in a sea of secularism.”
