Bishops’ spokesman stresses Church in Poland has welcomed refugees as country prepares to welcome Francis for World Youth Day
Just days before Pope Francis’ visit to Poland a Vatican statement has denounced an “artificially created fear of Muslims” which it says is being fed by some political parties in the country.
The press release, released by the Holy See but written by spokesman for the Polish Bishops, describes Poland as “ethnically homogenous” and that immigration is a relatively new phenomenon seen as strange to the average Polish person.
“For this reason, even through the official statistics relating to foreign citizens legally resident in Poland show that they make up just 0.4 per cent of the population as a whole, great fears exist”, Fr Pawel Rytel-Andrianik writes in a statement issued just before the beginning of World Youth Day in Krakow.
These fears, Fr Rytel-Andrianik explains, are due to a lack of public debate, complicated migration procedures and no public programme of teaching people in the country Polish about diversity of religion, race and culture.
But he writes: “Unfortunately these fears are fuelled by some political parties, and inappropriate statements made by politicians. There is an artificially created fear of Muslims understandable indeed in some ways (terrorist attacks). Poland borders Germany, which has a large Muslim population, and on the border they do not run some regular checks.”
The statement goes onto praise the generosity of the Polish church in welcoming refugees from the Middle East and North Africa including raising 1.2 million Euros to help and assisting 3,000 migrants annually. It adds that the Polish bishops made an appeal to help refugees a day before the Pope made his 6 September call for every parish and religious house to accept one migrant family.
The press release will, however, be read as.......

Poland has done quite well without you Francis. Stop trying to destroy it.
The Vatican - working actively for its own destruction.
Yep, those people murdered in Paris, Nice, Orlando, etc., just a bunch of fraidy-cats.
Stay strong, brave Poland!
They have had German and Russian bullying in the last 200+ years. They are defending themselves.
Pardon me, your Holiness, but don’t you have a mass or baptism or blessing ceremony to attend? We have elected political leaders for the matters you’re discussing.
I think they’re doing a fine job in whipping it up all on their own. And if I was in Rome I’d recall it was a Polish king and his winged hussars who saved their holy bacon once and it would be the Poles who’d be first in line to do so again. And that “again” is coming.
Nah, the Muslims do it pretty much themselves. Seems that the Vatican is in the tank for the NWO and has their head buried in the sand.
It should be evident by now to anyone with their eyes open and able to think critically, that there are forces in this world that have reached all the way to the top of virtually all western nations, and as shown here, the Vatican. These forces through either naivete or malicious intent believe the world needs to become a socially engineered and racially homogeneous mass of humanity. And if millions die in the process, oh well. Eggs for the omelette as the old commie saying goes.
“artificially created fear of Muslims”
***********************
I don’t think there is anything artificial about fearing beheading, stoning, being blown up, burned to death, shot, skewered, drowned in cages, dissolved in acid or any of the other creative ways the Islamic State has devised to kill infidels.
Submit or die.
Doesn’t seem very tolerant or peaceful
as far as this "artificially created" fear of moozlums well, it ain't artificial, its absolutely real and real in an extreme way....
when Satan decided to attack us, he sure put a lot of people in place to do it by....
Can someone help,me understand why every institution is protecting Islam? I honestly don’t get why they would protect a murderous, barbaric, evil “religion”... I really don’t.
Poisoning the West with muslim culture is like taking a bucket of beef stew and a bucket of shit, mixing them together, and calling it not half bad.
Lucky these clerical fools weren’t around in Charles Martel’s day.
But unless we defend ourselves now, that was just a stay of execution.
Maybe if one or more of the Islamofascist “guests” so eagerly “welcomed” by Bergoglio’s neo-barbarian hacks in the Vatican were to blow him sky high during his “visit” to inflict his heathen nonsense on Poland, the resulting conclave will avoid repeating the same mistake again. Maybe the next conclave will elect an actual young militant, knowledgeable Catholic rather than a social issue surrender monkey determined to destroy the Church and to obliterate European civilization as well.
Poland knows what it’s like to be invaded frankie.
Wasn’t it Henry VIII who taught the Pope to stay out of affairs of sovereign nations and tend to souls instead?
The Poles, under Jan Sobieski, lifted the siege of Vienna at the last moment. Maybe they are destined to save Western Civilization. They should absolutely fortify their borders and shoot to death anyone trying to cross them without permission. Then expel from Poland each and every Muzzie. Then break off diployakker relations with the satanic European Union and Germany in particular.
When we have an American POTUS again, we can offer generous assistance to defend Poland. One way or the other, this should be the VERY LAST TIME Bergoglio or anything like him is allowed to "visit." Poland has no need of rampant homosexuality, the destruction of the sacramental marriage bond, lax attitudes about abortion or further Islamofascist invasion. Poland should refuse to accept any new episcopal appointments by Bergoglio as well. Bergoglio will be dead soon enough and Poland will not suffer from his future absence.
Poles should turn their backs on him en masse while he "visits" and let him know just how unwelcome he truly is. And they might consider drowning out his infernal mouth with boisterous chants of "Saint John Paul II."
I think it is only fitting that the Polish government facilitate Francis and his cronies meeting with a LOT of refugee “yoots”. Really ‘rub elbows’ with them to learn what they really think of Catholics.
