This article discusses the issue of offending religious feelings in the light of Polish penal code. It is an attempt at answering the question of whether the standards really protect the values they were supposed to protect when they were instituted. And if they do, to what extent? Is the protection of religious feelings in Poland real or is it just a formal and legal illusion? An analysis of art. 196 of the penal code, as well as existing view on this doctrine shows a number of variances in interpretation. This leads to a conclusion that religious feelings may be protected under constitution, but the protection seems largely illusory in practice. Apart from the legislative and legal reservations, the low level of protection of religious feelings seems to also stem from the existing public attitudes, including the acceptance of the progressing insensitivity to Christian symbols. This acceptance is only seemingly harmless. In fact, it depreciates the sacred character of such objects. This results in a certain blurring of the notion of insult towards the objects of religious worship.

The article is showing the presence of vulgar expressions in song lyrics. This is a clear testimony to the changes in the customs and language of culture of recent decades. The paradox is that the development of negative phenomena can contribute to events naturally valued positively, such as expanding the sphere of freedom together with the birth of “Solidarity” or the abolition of the censorship institution with the transformation after 1989. Vulgarism today, after more than a quarter of a century since the release of language from the “care” of censorship, is intensively present in songs that many Poles find important. This stylistic device helps to express and shapes the expressed emotions, describe reality, and it is a manifestation of the generational fear of the sublime. The text discusses the songs of authors such as: Andrzej Garczarek, Jacek Kaczmarski, Kazik Staszewski, Krzysztof Grabowski (Grabaż), Marcin Świetlicki, Hubert Dobaczewski (Spięty), Paweł Sołtys (Pablopavo).

Wykroczenie polegające na używaniu w miejscu publicznym słów nieprzyzwoitych jest jednym z czynów stypizowanych w rozdziale XVI Kodeksu wykroczeń godzących w obyczajność publiczną. Jego strona przedmiotowa polega na umieszczeniu nieprzyzwoitego ogłoszenia, napisu lub rysunku, albo używaniu słów nieprzyzwoitych. Zarówno pojęcie obyczajności publicznej, jak i znamię nieprzyzwoitości mają charakter niedookreślony. Podobnie mało precyzyjne jest pojęcie „słowa nieprzyzwoitego”. Zarówno obyczajność publiczna, jak i nieprzyzwoitość są wysoce relatywne, postrzegane są różnie przez różne grupy społeczne i uznawane za mniej lub bardziej dopuszczalne w zależności od wieku odbiorcy. Ściganie wykroczeń polegających na używaniu słów nieprzyzwoitych nie może być jednak selektywne. Odróżnić należy posługiwanie się słowem wulgarnym jako wyzwiskiem od traktowania go jako swoisty „przerywnik”.

An offence involving in the use of indecent words in a public place is one of the acts classified in Chapter XVI Misdemeanour Code that violates public decency. Its subject matter consists in placing an obscene announcement, inscription or drawing or using obscene words in a public place. Both the notion of public morality and the sign of indecency are indeterminate in nature. Similarly, the concept of an “obscene word” is not very precise. Both public morality and obscenity are highly relative, perceived differently by different social groups and considered more or less acceptable depending on the age of the audience. The pursuit of offences involving the use of indecent words cannot, however, be selective. One should distinguish between the use of vulgar words as an insult and a specific “interlude”.
