Polish Episcopal Conference

The Polish Episcopal Conference or Polish Bishops' Conference (Polish: Konferencja Episkopatu Polski or KEP) is the central organ of the Catholic Church in Poland. It is composed of 3 cardinals, 24 archbishops and 118 bishops.

In 2018, KEP completed a survey on clerical abuse against children and found that 382 priests had been accused of abusing at least 660 minors. The survey’s report led to the creation of the St Joseph’s Foundation to help abuse survivors as well as action against clergy.

In summer 2020, KEP stated that church teaching on homosexuality was infallible and promoted conversion therapy programs.

In June 2023, KEP made an appeal for calm discussions on migration and promoted wise hospitality and solidarity.

(Until 1994, position held ex officio by the Primate of Poland)
