The departure of Archbishop Marek Jędraszewski is not just a individual change. This is the closure of 1 of the most compromising chapters of the modern Church in Poland — a chapter in which the pulpit served not the Gospel but political narrative.
For years Wawel, on the anniversary of the Smolensk disaster, was a place where, alternatively of silence and prayer, the words about the "attack", "mystification" and "Smolensk lie" sounded. The church that should be united became a tube of 1 imagination — filled with suspicions, emotions, and political interests.
The culmination of this logic was the words of 2021, when Archbishop Jędraszewski announced that the faithful are obliged to thank God for the Kaczyński brothers.
At this point, it was no longer about politics — it began with something much more disturbing: the sacrament of power.
On this background the voice of the card. Gregory Ryś sounds like a cold shower. “The Church is not from leading to the “Smolensk truth” but to God,” he said. And in this 1 conviction he summed up years of abuse.
Because that's what they were: abuse.
The disaster, which should be the space of common mourning, has been turned into a tool of division. alternatively of being led to sense and hope, believers were drawn into a spiral of suspicion and political mobilization.
Ryś does something that seems almost revolutionary to part of the Church: he refuses to participate in this game.
There's no theory, no charges, no suggestion. It's night — pain, chaos, silence. And trying to get through this experience without an ideological boost.
It's a fundamental change. due to the fact that it means returning to simple integrity: recognising that the Church does not have the competence to settle aviation disasters or to make alternate versions of history.
He has a work not to lie. And not to fuel lies.
Therefore, Jędraszewski's departure is not only the end of a certain style. This test whether the Church in Poland can inactive separate between religion and political obsession.
And if he wants to halt confusing the pulpit with the speaker.
