It is not actual that Christians in the Western world, especially in Poland, are not persecuted. On the contrary, bullies multiply and intensify. The anti-Catholic hatred Spiral is getting faster and faster. And Catholics hide their heads in the sand.
In the media, the shocking bidding between Rafal Bethlehem and Robert Biedron resounds. The first collects signatures under the prohibition of confession until the age of sixteen, and the second demands the prohibition of access to the sacrament until adulthood. Media and politicians do not head that Bethlehem entered the media planet with mockery of the victims of a serial rapist, catching his victims in Warsaw elevators. Nobody feels embarrassed by the fact that Bethlehem recorded a "performance" consisting of masturbation at the site of the death of Russian opposition writer Anna Politkowska. Similarly, in his political career, Biedronia is not an obstacle, nor are the acts of force that the court has committed against his loved ones, nor are its intimate statements compromising him.
The TOK FM radio publishes an article on its pages Catholicism should be treated as the strongest drugs, promoting it on social media with a slogan: The Church must not be allowed to have access to young people. The weekly “Politics” is “great” and the final of the WOŚP is simply a image of Jerzy Owsiak and a Catholic priest: the first signed: good, second: bad. The same media constantly shed crocodile tears over the fall of language, over the dehumanization of minorities and the nightmare of the persecuted. erstwhile we start an alarm, many worshipers of holy peace talk in the voice of Tomasz Terlikowski, who, in Rzeczpospolita, calmed that Christians in Poland are not persecutedadding: gentle media beatings or even harsh criticism are not martyrdom.
At the same time, Donald Tusk appoints Sławomir Nitras, known for his words, as head of organization election control: In my opinion, the Church obeyed the state ... Maybe there should be any punishment for this behavior. ... This is simply a fair punishment for what has happened, and we must censure you with certain privileges due to the fact that if not, you will rise your head again if anything changes..
Europe does not protest. If the same words were addressed to another monotheistic spiritual communities, the organization would be lost and the media around the planet would cover the names of Tusk and Nitras with permanent epithets: controversial, accused of anti-Semitism, extremist nationalists.
To the full picture, let us add a leaping increase in hateful crimes against Christians, from vandalism to which Marta Lempart at the time encouraged on the waves of ZET Radio, by interrupting Holy Masses to killing a priest in Płock. With the full almost passiveness of law enforcement and courts who do not want to enforce the law against the perpetrators of the worst anti-Christian offenses.
The husband of Mrs Scheering-Wielgus has already heard a judgement acquittal against the charge of disturbing the Holy Mass during abortion protests. Although the immunity of the associate herself has been allowed to be lifted, the court has immediately set a time limit for the sitting on the dismissal of proceedings.
Similarly, in the case of an art proceeding in advancement for years Curse Despite the clear statements of experts at the Warsaw Theatre, we have already been served a cancellation. It is not that during the performance a cross was fucked with a mechanical saw, actors suggested a relation with the crucifix, and the figure of Pope John Paul II participated in simulated sexual intercourse. Christians must have thicker skin.
Not what LGBT activists, for whom criticism of the court in Szczecin sentenced a young PRO Foundation volunteer to a advanced fine.
This image is not exaggerated. This is Poland's first weeks AD 2023.
Before blood spills
The analogy is obvious. And the consequences are apparent of a deficiency of firm consequence to increasing insults and promoted indifference to the detestation of Christians. In a fewer years, scaring the children with priests, encouraging them to sawing privileges and calls for legal restrictions on the freedom to exercise sacraments with full indifference to the police, prosecutors and courts, will open the door to fresh persecution. First spontaneous, with time cleverly coupled with state politics and an electoral game dominated by extremist enemies of the Church and shy centrists.
How can you be so sure? due to the fact that it's happened before. And Christians who began persecution are remembered to this day as statesmen, yes, men of providence in Europe.
In past classes, we all learned about Briand–Kellogg's 1927 pact, to which the planet would erstwhile and for all renounce force in global relations and reject all aggression. The paper was initiated by respected French abroad Minister and multiple Prime Minister Aristide Briand. While the second author, American Frank Kellogg stopped in his public speeches at calling the religion superstition and Incidence, his French friend had Catholic blood on his hands. That was the political mainstream precisely a century ago.
In perfect Chrystophobia Grzegorz Kucharczyk is uncovering fragments of Aristide Briand's speeches. Forging an aggressive chapter of the Church and State, he said plainly that Social reforms will be possible if spiritual quarrels and if Catholics accept the chapter. The Catholics will not accept this chapter unless it is put to the Church like a revolver to the head.
Is that far from Nitras? The same Briand, as the Minister of Education, wrote to all teachers without a doubt: Get Christ out of school. We have already cast him out of the army, out of the navy, out of the infirmary and out of the shelters; so cast him out of the hearts of children. Christ must be thrown out of the country. Is it hard to imagine akin words in Bethlehem’s mouth or in Sadron?
It will be up to us alone to free ourselves from passiveness and apathy, from increasing anesthesia to the harm of Christians and to insult their religion and objects of worship. Will we respond by joining forces and giving war to the enemies of social order who hatred to build their political careers? That's why in Ordo Iuris we set up a program Defending Christians and since that year we have considered this issue as 1 of six priorities. That is why we powerfully support the citizens' initiative Protecting Christiansby making amendments to the draft and working closely with the committee.
If we do not act, these "state men" of modern Europe will proceed to build their careers on hurting believers. If we deficiency our determination, the words that the French Minister of the Interior, Camille Pelletan, spoke in public a small over a 100 years ago, may shortly rephrase: We are in the midst of a revolution, and nothing can halt us in the civilization work we do. If it takes blood to flow, let it flow. As long as there is simply a Free thought in the world.
