Abstract

In the 16th century the Church was faced with a challenge by Martin Luther and his followers. The Church's response to a profound and multi-level crisis at the dawn of the Modern Age, as the impact of the Christian ministry weakened – giving rise to reformation – was the restoration initiated at the Council of Trent. Challenged with the appeal of reformers, the Church in Poland also had to take a closer look at its image and undertake a programme of internal renewal in the spirit of the council restoration. It therefore is worth tracing back the routes which brought the "winds of change" to Poland in the last two decades of the 16th century, when the Polish episcopate was headed by Stanisław Karnowski (1581–1603).
