The Polish Catholic Bloc (Polish: Polski Blok Katolicki, PBK) was a Christian-democratic electoral alliance in Poland.[1] Its full name was the Polish Catholic Bloc of the Polish People's Party "Piast" and Christian Democracy (Polish: Polski Blok Katolicki Polskiego Stronnictwa Ludowego „Piast” i Chrześcijańskiej Demokracji).[2]
The Bloc was founded in 1928 to contest that year's parliamentary election by the Polish People's Party "Piast" and Polish Christian Democratic Party.[1] It organized election gatherings before election day, like a Housekeepers' gathering on 26 February.[3] In the 1928 election, it received 34 Sejm and 6 Senat seats.[2]
