Question about the condition of social ethics, public morality and politics leads us to the notion of conscience and freedom of conscience. Traditionally, the term conscience has its origin in philosophy of morality and in religion. However, contemporary sociological research in Poland demonstrates that many social actors, predominately institutional Catholic representatives or politicians, within the public debate play a battle over morality. The article, in light of the empirical data and theoretical approach, undertakes the analyses on public morality and religion, bioethics, law, and politics to discuss the quest of ethical rigourism and political moralism. Nonetheless, in the context of the public debate over the freedom of conscience and its socio-political implications the author argues that religious and political debate over public morality is often an object of ideological manipulation.
