A 100 issues of the magazine "Polonia Christiana" ago, at the beginning of the Lord's Year 2008, the planet had a face somewhat different from today, although all destructive spiritual and socio-political processes that we come to face present were already very advanced. Today, erstwhile changes have accelerated and are happening at an almost fast rate, only complete blind people do not see that we are on the verge of history, very close to any turning point, possibly highly tragic, but surely inevitable. It was not so apparent at the time, but the editorial board of the recently established magazine (I am writing this without a shadow of satisfaction) was full aware of the importance of the changes taking place – almost completely ignored by the Polish alleged right-wing public opinion.
When the “Polonia Christiana” was formed, Pope Benedict XVI sat on the Capital of Peter, whose pontificate seemed to be a triumph for a moderately realistic approach to revolutionary changes shaking the Church after the Second Vatican Council. “The creamy age is over,” the talk about Springs of the Church, while trying to remedy the increasing and widespread crisis of faith, taking on the scale of the mass apostasy of the Catholic peoples of the West. So they recalled the conventional liturgy and teaching, of course, as part of the alleged hermeneutics of continuity (the alleged “conservation”), but the scale of modernist subversion in the Church, which, under the skin and in hiding, gained always more of these fresh capes, was gigantic.
In January 2008, the planet circulated news of the cancellation of the gathering with the Pope at the Roman University of La Sapienza due to the protest of leftist lecturers and students of this university. This showed how the institutions erstwhile established by the Church to service the fact completely turned distant from the Church and their mission. Yet, the worst, in the form of revealing the scale of sexual abuses of clergy or open opposition of almost all episcopals to the right warnings of the Vatican, was yet to come. This may not have been the worst, given the later event – Benedict XVI's abdication as a symbolic departure from the course indicated by Saint Peter, and there will be a pontificate of the pope, whose many devout Catholics accuse not of various abuses, as in Papacy history, but of deficiency of orthodoxy (sic!).
When the “Polonia Christiana” was formed, despite the desperate efforts of those of the globalists who are striving for always closer political and economical unification of the world, the destabilisation of planet order was deepened in 2008, causing lies to premature besides about End of history. The Wall Street crash was accompanied by the culmination of the global financial crisis, caused by the crack of the alleged speculative bubble created by the money-lending mortgagers and symbolized by the spectacular collapse of Lehman Brothers bank.
Five years after the war which overthrowd Saddam Hussein, Iraq continued to shake up the bombings, the business of Afghanistan by NATO forces continued, Somali pirates hijacked ships flowing off the coast of the “horn of Africa”, Colombia fought against the communist partisan, and Kosovo declared independence. However, all of these events, recalled as examples of the progressive “somallization” of the world, clouded the entry of Russian troops into Georgia – the beginning of the recovery of Putinian Russia lost after the collapse of the USSR's spheres of influence. It is actual that Vladimir Putin left the seat of president of Russia for Dimitri Medvedev shortly after, but it was only a temporary regrouping of forces before the Russian neo-imperial task entered a decisive phase. In November, the U.S. presidential election was won by politician Barack Obama to announce a "reset" in relations with Russia shortly afterwards. It is hard not to be tempted to reflect that the later death of the Polish president under Smolensk and Russia's invasion of Ukraine are the effects of this "reset".
When the “Polonia Christiana” was formed, in the Indian state of Orisa, the bloody persecution of the Christians there began, for whom no 1 advocated internationally, while in Europe the construction of a superstate without God was the best. Although the Eurocrats failed to impose on the peoples of the Old Continent an EU Constitution that was programmed to cut off from the Christian roots of Europe, a lighter version of the Treaty of Lisbon was wiped out. Unfortunately, in April 2008 the treaty was ratified by the Sejm of the Republic of Poland, and 1 year later it was signed by president Lech Kaczyński, which should be considered a final waiver by the authorities of the Republic of sovereignty.
When the “Polonia Christiana” was created, Poland's real sovereignty could not, of course, have been mentioned for a long time. Governments in our country then held “platforms” with Donald Tuski at the head and “people” led by Waldemar Pawlak, who replaced the coalition of Laws, LPR and Self-defense after its dissolution as a consequence of the alleged land scandal. This government was considered a sign of compatible German-Russian cooperation in the buffer area on the 1 hand, and the implementation of the programme of slow laicization of Poland by forces of nomenclature and liberals, after an unsuccessful experimentation of reactivation of post-communists, on the other.
In January 2008, 20 airmen, members of the Polish aviation elite, with General Andrzejewski, commander of the 1st Tactical Aviation Brigade at the head, died in Mierosławec as a consequence of the plane crash. This accident is simply a symbolic prelude of what happened 2 years later in the forest close Smolensk...
We've wiped many paths
In specified a reality, our writing, whose name – “Christian's Polonia” – was actually the full thought program. Poland – our beloved Homeland – a place given to us by God on Earth, with its beautiful nature, rich culture, wonderful and hard history. Christian Republic, aware of its past mission, inhabited by a nation that lives and works ad major Dei gloriam. The mention in the name of the writing to Latin – the universal language of the Church – was not a coincidence either. After all, in order to be truly Polish and full Christian, this Christian Poland must be firmly rooted in the civilization that created and developed its values. In a spiritual sense, we are sons of Greece and Rome.
And it's not that our country cottage. Especially here in Poland, on the bridge between Europe and Asia, we cannot afford this kind of thinking. besides frequently we experience a kind of political "effect of the butterfly" of phenomena that have its origin somewhere above Tiber, Thames or Potomac, or even on the steppes of Mongolia...
"Christian Polonia" was not created deus ex machine. Most members of the editorial board have already acted together more than a decade before the creation of the magazine, being among the founders of the Christian Culture Association named Fr Peter Skarga, which publishes our magazine. Inspired by the thought of the large Christian thinker, Plinia Corrai de Oliveira, we felt that our active opposition to the anti-Christian, gnostic and egalitarian forces of the revolution fighting and destroying Christian civilization should be strengthened; to stand up for values especially threatened today, like tradition, household and property. We fight in the defence of Christian civilization, in which ordering in all aspects of temporal, individual and social life, according to God's Law, natural and Church's teachings promotes the eventual intent of our creation – in these words, he characterized the counter-revolutionary intent of our writing by editor Sławomir Skiba in the first editorial entitled Omnia instaurare in Christo!
So in the 100 issues of the magazine we wrote about everything important: the fall of the authority of Papacy and the fresh faces of the Marxist left, the controversial biomedical and totalitarian procedures of corporations and banks, the black legend of the Inquisition and the Polish insurgency complex, the story of artificial intelligence and the plague of divorce, the fraud of global warming and the French Revolution, the madness of fashion on tattoos and Templars' history, the political task between the Sea and the “return” of Russia, the masonry and Christian pacifism, the inheritance of Sarmatism and the invasion of Satanism, the utopia of sustainable improvement and the lie of the Covid-19 pandemic.
All these cases were devoted to further issues of the journal, proving that there is no historical fact, cultural phenomenon or social process that cannot be analysed thoroughly from the position of the Catholic worldview and doctrine of the Church.
From the beginning, we have been profoundly affected by the problem of the collapse of Europe, which is being tried to enslave the task of a totalitarian superstate, while besides subjecting it to an experimentation of population exchange through the influx of immigrants from muslim countries. erstwhile we devoted our first issue to this last topic, it did not be almost at all in the Polish public debate. besides in 1 of the first numbers we diagnosed neo-imperial plans of the Russian elite and as 1 of the first we exposed the essence of Putin's conservative maneuver, at a time erstwhile shooting with the Russian leader was not at all unfashionable.
Examples of specified topics that he utilized to barely always address mainstream, and now it is very eager – more, frequently from the position and position that we erstwhile had – to multiply for a long time. However, there is no place for specified a calculation – anyone who wants to see the fact of this explanation can scope the archival numbers of the magazine "Polonia Christiana".
What makes us peculiarly special?
However, 1 feature of our publicist should be peculiarly exposed. Let us begin with the conclusion that the biggest weakness of the Polish (and not only Polish) right hand is simply a godly focus on politics, especially in its democratic-party edition, which is sometimes accompanied by a greater or little knowing of the essence of economical affairs, with almost complete disregard for culture. Yet it was the cultural revolution that took place in the Western planet in the last century that gave the European left a varied colour free way to gain political control of the Old Continent.
The editorial of the magazine “Polonia Christiana” tries to minimize this neglect, with cultural themes sacrificing many places, and with the transcendental triad of Truth, Good and Beautiful, not treating the second stepmotherly. On the contrary, following the advice of the top of 20th-century Polish poets, he does not neglect the discipline of beauty, examining carefully shape of architecture, rhythm of drums and pipes, authoritative colors, vile ceremony ritual.
Above all, however, we focus on affirming the splendour of Christian civilization, presenting wonderful works of art and literature, music and architecture, painting and all another plays in their most valuable productions.
We hope that the articles devoted to them are a origin of solid cognition and offer an chance for genuine delight, and, above all, for a deep reflection on the strength of religion that inspired specified large works. We believe that they strengthen the hearts of our Readers and Friends, consistently oppressed by the enemies of our religion as being a “pedagogy of shame” that makes us apologize for the alleged sins and errors of the Church and Catholic society. We trust that this strengthening of hearts makes many readers of the magazine “Polonia Christiana” anew the apostles of Latin civilization, giving others the conviction of how large and wonderful the substance we all service together is.
