Thoughts, 35/2
You fed him with the bread of weeping and filled him with tears. You've made us a reason for our neighbors, and our enemies are taunting us. God of armies, renew us and show your serene face, that we may experience salvation. (Ps 80: 6-8).
If the planet hates you, know that it hated me first. If you were from the world, the planet would love you as its property. But since you are not of the planet due to the fact that I have chosen you from the world, that is why the planet hates you... If they have persecuted me, they will persecute you. If they have kept my word, they will keep yours too. Had I not come and spoken to them, they would have no sin. But now they have no justification for their sin. He who hates me hates my Father. (J 15, 18-20, 22-23).024, August 30, 2024

The extension of the detention of Fr Michał Olszewski indicates that the authorities are striving to keep social divisions. It is the management of social sentiments: the aim is to focus attention on the unlawful detention of Fr Olszewski. At the same time, it is simply a signal to the ruling electorate: we will fight the opposition and the Church; even as the cost of surviving increases, at least there will be games.
Perhaps decisions concerning this detention are made outside Poland. The Levites believe that they are the only ones who are entitled to public funds, and it is unacceptable for them that Catholics search public money to accomplish different social goals. It does not substance that Catholics contribute to the creation of these funds. The fact that communists and various organizations seeking to destruct Christian civilization receive money both public and from various global organizations is average for them. It's not average erstwhile Catholic communities are financially strengthened. And we see how hard it is to deal with threats from the EU without simple funding. People consciously pay their money for these purposes, but mostly it is not large resources and it is hard to gain a crucial position in this fight.
While keeping Fr Olszewski in mining custody, the power wants to accomplish respective objectives: the evidence of the priest can aid fight the opposition, discourage initiatives, but as indicated by the power in Brussels and prevent the improvement of an environment that may attract young people. planet authorities see that by failing to see, they failed to block the improvement of Radio Maryja and its initiatives. This is simply a serious problem for them due to the fact that the strategy cannot be closed and there is simply a platform independent of the power of opinion and the defence of the Church. Fortunately, thanks to the charismatic character, Fr.T. Rydzyk managed to keep and make these media, and the society maintains its existence with its contributions. However, the fresh initiatives request large funds and Radio Maryja tries to participate in their acquisition. possibly the authorities felt that Fr.M. Olszewski had a chance to build a fresh Catholic media environment and tried to prevent this from happening at first. The authority wants the youth to be a model of the “do what they want” environment; erstwhile individual wants to make something else, it is simply a threat to power. The authority has, of course, the fight against Fr T. Rydzyk and the environment of Radio Maryja; however, it is much more difficult: behind him is simply a large crowd of believers and the Church (including the Vatican). The current power can, of course, go into a fight with the Church, but it must number on what the authorities in Brussels will indicate. Those who had previously been ombudsmen of citizens' rights erstwhile they came to power became advocates of force against people who thought differently.
Perhaps for now, the main battlefield will be education and the desire to integrate Polish education into a strategy of pan-European education, in which there will be no patriotic education and the improvement of talents of capable youth.
In my view, there should be no arrests at all for those suspected of crimes for crucial money; specified persons should respond at a free ft due to the fact that they do not endanger another citizens to be isolated. On the another hand, an unnecessary political conflict for detention would be avoided.
In all of this you can see how tremendous the judicial power is; it is de facto the first power; whoever will control it will rule. That's why it's so crucial for the president to nominate judges. Hence, the presidential elections next year will be so crucial. It is essential for society to realize this dependency: courts will restrict freedom of expression, economical freedom of political freedom. We cannot let the candidate of the current ruling coalition to be elected president; then we are threatened by totalitarianism. It is not possible to follow the organization here; it must be understood by the Confederate, it must be understood by patriotic parties.
I hope that the persecution will strengthen Fr Michael and carry out the intended works and find many co-workers. It may besides extend its concern towards those affected by the force of a state apparatus, which he himself experiences and will have peculiar knowing for them.
It is worth listening to the defender of Fr Michael, M. Skwarczyński:
Zb.
