Jan Kochanowski Fraszka On the religious

Bigotry (that is, religiosity for show, piety manifested on every occasion) more than once she was ridiculed by Kochanowski (let's remember, that it is a period of rebirth, only later, in the baroque years, In the Counter-Reformation, devotion became an almost universal feature of various strata of Polish society). The maid of this epic builds her image as an almost holy person, and in fact she is hypocritical, hypocritical, he wants to be considered someone better, than it really is:

If you don't sin, as you tell me,
What is, nice, you confess so often?

You can suppose, that devout behavior is to distract attention from a long list of sins, what she has committed and is committing. Centuries have passed, and Polish devotion is still alive, it even blooms.
