From one of the most Catholic of all nations. I’m kind of surprised.

The Soviet legacy isn’t going to vanish overnight.

I'm not; the Church has drifted into this moral ambiguity where priests will regularly chide congregations for calling out those who would advocate sin. The infection that has effectively destroyed the GOPe has spread to the Church - we must have a big tent and welcome all with open arms. Turn them not away from God with His words.

They too have come to like the collection basket much more than the words in the Book. If the seats are empty, there is no one to preach to - granted. But if you take no stands, there will be nothing to say to them either.

Don't be surprised. But .. "hundreds"? You could drop a sack full of zlotys onto the pavement from a tall building in Warsaw (pop. 1.7 million) and get more than a hundred people.

I'm sure it was a disappointingly small crowd --- except for the international coverage.
