Yes, because they take decisions for ALL, and not only for Christian people.
Christians are allowed to participate in politics as long as they don't think like Christians. Can you believe it?

That's a chance, but he helped Lech anyway. He influenced many people to vote for Lech. And priests in the Church gave political point of views too (the same, Lech), which is, to me, unbelievable...
I think Polish people wanted to get rid of the "terrible twins". And people might be disappointed to know that Rydzyk supported him too. :)

Besides, Father Rydzyk is disliked by many Catholics

Radio Maryja and Nasz Dziennik (two - very good, actually - media connected with Father Rydzyk) supported PiS, but PiS lost.... Would you say the Polish Church isn't powerful any more? Or would you argue that PO won because Father Rydzyk supported them, not PiS?

Rydzyk supported the Kaczyńskis.
If the priest helps him to become president of his country, then yeah, i guess he has some power...
Nuclear plants, isn't it ?... Germany, the USA, Russia are more important for a "first visit" than Vatican.
Hehe, that means that almost everybody can be influenced by the Church, particularly regular church goers.
It's these 3 reasons altogether that proves that the Church is still powerful in Poland :)
Really? What do you mean by 'friend'? E.g. what do they do together?
Rydzyk supported the Kaczyńskis.
So if President of a given country befriends a priest this means that the church the priest belongs to is necessarily powerful in the country?

Is it evidence of the power of Lithuania in Poland? :)

I know it's important to talk, but most of the time I find myself just keeping it to myself. I like to have my own space, so I spend afew hours a day in my room away from anyone and just enjoy being alone, no influence from anyone else. It's kind of strange for someone to enjoy being alone, I don't hate people, but I like have that hour or two a day to myself

Hmm...Poland is a secular country, there is no state religion...everyone is free to believe in the god he/she wants ;)
Was it said that the majority wants it ?...
We should teach differences of beliefs, respect of the difference, everybody's point of view, tolerance, and not only one point of view, one religion.
And Poland is still a Christian - Catholic country

Yeah, so why make religious education a compulsory A-Level subject ? True, let live.
I can answer both questions (stupid questions, aren't they ?) : NO.
I'm not saying that my view is the best, or whatever, but just asking why should everyone (SO that includes atheists, or people with other religions, beliefs...) receive a Christian education ? Isn't Poland a secular country ?
I'm not criticizing Christians, just some ideas of some of them. That's all.

I agree :)
Exactly. In France, the Church separated from the gov in 1905, but in Poland, the Church and the gov are separated too...At least officially...

As for France - she separated church from the government long time ago, which is good because beliefs should stay out of politics.

I keep saying that religion is a personal matter and have nothing to do in politic issues and in education. Are we all obligated to be Christian ?...Freedom also means that we must have the choice to think on our own.
Hmm...it's a Polish website :) No French at all. Polish press. There's no attack again Christianity and noone is polonophobic, it's just that school must be for everyone, and not only for Christian people, i don't think you're going to disagree on that, unless you're schoolophobic, atheistophobic, or any other difference :)

Judging from your posts, the French media seem to be quite Christanity-unfriendly, and Polonophobic too.

LiD MP commented on Thursday's meeting between education minister Katarzyna Hall (PO) and metropolitan archbishop of Warsaw Kazimierz Nycz who agreed that religious education could become a compulsory A-level subject.
They also decided that a thousand Polish pupils would take a mock RE A-level exam next spring.
