Poland's Bishops Refuses to Consecrate Poland to Christ the King

Warsaw (kath.net/KAP) Poland's bishops are against the idea of a popular movement for the Consecration of Poland to Christ the King -- who take as their Motto: "Christ, King of Poland". This plan should be given up, said the president of the Polish Bishops' Conference, Archbishop Jozef Michalik, this Wednesday at the close of the Autumn Meeting of Bishops in Warsaw. The Kingdom of Christ is "not of this world".

Who could argue with someone with the name “mas cerveza por favor”? Yes, we should always judge a tree by its fruits, not the shape of its hat.

Though I would say that we can’t say that ALL the bishops are not Catholic, I’m sure that there are more Catholics among them than in the USA, England, and Germany etc.

When I responded for the second time with the question “You are not Catholic are you?”, I thought I was responding to the OBVIOUSLY non-Catholic person who wrote::

“The Bishops are correct. Christ is King - but He is not to be named King of any temporal country”.

Huh?

[Del Rapier]

Would those Bishops be considered outsiders?

The Bishops Conferences rarely do anything imortant, but they are good at squelching Catholicism.

I live in Warsaw now and can tell you that the entire procession was more politically motivated than anything -- this is an extension of the political party that used the cross as a symbol to embarass the Tusk govt about Katyn II and want to have more investigations done (ok, I disagree with Tusk and the President, but Kaczynski was no saint and wasn't conservative enough in my opinion. Anyway, the idea of these guys to get "answers" from Russia is crazy -- I doubt the Russians really know either, and if they do, they won't tell us the truth and if they DO tell us, we won't believe them, so it's a no-win situation).

The procession was nice, orderly and quiet but politcally tinged. The Church has tried to stay out of the entire political battle being fought except for saying that Christian symbols shouldn't be misused.

Except that the new government is much more liberal than the last...

I don’t see what’s so bad about Poland being a Catholic State.

After all, the Jews have their State, maintained at great expense to the American taxpayer.

And another thing, the Bishops sabotaged the last resolution, which still received 67% of the vote anyway.

I’m very skeptical of people who attack “right-wing” parties who propose making resolutions to keep their country safe from Communist infiltration, and ensure that their children know the Catholic Faith.

Do I sense some crypto-Antisemitism here?
