Prosecutors in Poland, where Catholicism is the dominant religion, are asking priests to read the names of people who drink and drive from the pulpit. There is a high death rate from drunk driving in the country, and prosecutors think that public shaming may cut the rate down.
Rafal Grabia, a prosecutor in the mountain town of Zywiec in southern Poland, tells Reuters, "We post the names of convicted drunk drivers at town halls. But who reads that? The information is not reaching family, friends and neighbors."
