L. Hawk: Not a penny per tray..

wprawo.pl 4 weeks ago

Among those reading my posts are those who attend the Church on Sunday. They do this despite the fact that most bishops of this time do a lot to discourage the faithful. These are the people I ask you to read this post.

The president of the Polish Episcopal Conference Archbishop Tadeusz Wojda late called on Polish bishops to conduct a nationwide collection to aid Ukraine. In most parishes specified collections will take place tomorrow. In my opinion, this is not about helping victims of war, due to the fact that then they would be raised as victims – regardless of nationality. Instead, they would pray for the end of the war and lasting peace as shortly as possible. I believe that this is about supporting the policy direction of the current rulers.

More decades have passed since Ukrainian murders on the Polish Borderlands. During this time the Episcopate of Poland did not come up with an thought to organize a collection to commemorate our countrymen who were murdered in a beastly way in 1939-1947. Catholic priests and faithful murdered by Ukrainians during the Holy Mass during the Bloody Sunday in the Kresach – 11 July 1943 were not decently commemorated. There is besides no opposition from Polish hierarchs about the beatification process promoted by Ukrainian chauvinists Archbishop Andrzej Szeptycki. It is worth reminding that earlier the process of beatification was blocked twice by Cardinal Stefan Wyszyński.

More, no bishop would crawl into his limousine and come to the unveiling ceremony of the Monument of the “Wolyńska Sculpture” in Domastawa in 2024. no walked in the Memorial March dedicated to Polish victims of Ukrainian genocide. I can mention respective celebrations of the unveiling of various obelisks – frequently doubtful usefulness to Poles – where bishops of the framework with politicians willingly participated.

The hierarchical church has long needed the aid of believing Poles. He needed it erstwhile in 2003, alternatively of leading his faithful to salvation, he decided to lead them to the European Union. He needed the aid of his sheep erstwhile he needed his evangelists to recover and get property. He needed it, of course, besides during the reigns of the so - called united right, when, alternatively of guarding God’s 10 Commandments, he was active in fertilizing the policies of the current rulers. This deficiency of time and surplus of goods caused him not to announcement the widespread corruption and moral degrengolade of a immense part of priests.

I know how to aid the church hierarchy. They request the ascetics essential to decently consider crucial issues. They should not be distracted by excesses and comfortable lives. They should save them time hanging out at banks so they can meet the faithful. I think it's a large thought that the faithful leave their wallet at home tomorrow. Empty trays can sober up the senseless attitude of many clergymen.

It's not anti-religious or anti-Catholic. Especially since I know wonderful clergymen from my household Siemianowice Śląski or close Cheladz. I had the honour to know or meet the large people of the church of Archbishop Kazimierz Majdański, Archbishop Kazimierz Świątek, Rev. Prof. Czesław Bartnik, Fr. Henryk Czepulkowski or the guardian of homeless Fr. Bogusław Paleczny. But it is the faithful who know best who is due and worth it, and who needs to be corrected. An empty tray can truly sober up. Although I am far from the Church, I am not happy that Poland is becoming little Catholic. I am not satisfied that less and less Poles attend churches. The parishes were 1 of the last bastions of the community of our nation. They were not only spiritual but besides socially important.

Churches ravage, precisely the opposite, than accounts and wallets of many hierarchs. Bishops should lead people to God, not the ballot box. The Catholic Church should be free of money settled by a given political option. Jarosław Kaczyński was right erstwhile he spoke as the leader of the Centre's agreement that: "The shortest way to dechristianization of Poland leads through ZChN". Decatolization in Poland of POPISowska progresses much faster and more effectively than in the era of Bolesław Bierut and Jakub Berman.

They truly request to sober up. The Hierarchs mostly do not realize that they are fattened by rulers like animals for slaughter. That all these reliefs, tributes, grants, salaries, recoveries, praises and medals from the rulers make them completely unreliable. The hierarchical church became a charante of current ruling political orientations – 1 of the PiS, the another of the PO, all of Ukraine.

PS. If the ecclesiastical authorities want to aid Ukraine, I can do so in a simple way – cash in any of the assets which they have so numerously recovered in the III Republic. due to the fact that helping with the purses of Polish retired women is not moral.

PSS. These are my views and do not burden them with the editorial board “Polish Thought”.

Jack Meatman's brief position on the matter:

Pole, support your
The Ukrainians have milked enough.

And the clergy flowed like a dead fish @EpiscoppatNews @Abp_Jozef ordering the organization of specified gatherings in our churches, which I have been calling for for over 11 years, let him deal with:
