Conversations with God <https://www.peterlang.com/view/title/62526>

*About the book:*
The book discusses the sociolinguistic status and prestige of the Polish 
language and the changes in the national identity of Catholics in 
Belarus due to the switch from Polish to Belarusian in the Catholic 
Church. The research shows that the national identification of Catholics 
in Belarus is changing. The oldest generations most often self-identify 
as Polish. For those from the middle and youngest generations, the link 
between nationality and their religion is not obvious as being a 
Catholic does not exclude a Belarusian self-identity. Belonging to the 
Catholic Church results from being baptized in the Catholic rite, while 
national identity can be defined in many ways and re-defined by various 
life experiences. Catholicism has proven to be a less debated and more 
durable category than nationality.

century in secondary sources – Functioning of Polish in Catholic
