Isn't it a bit ahistorical comparing the middle ages to the 20th century and dragging in football hooligans to boot? (No pun intended!)
The fact remains that the Spanish Inquisition, which lasted a couple centuries, put to death accodding to various estimates from 3,000 to 5,000 people convicted of heresy. The victims of the Spanish Red Terror of the 1930s which lasted only a couple of years did not even get a show trial and were slaughtered in the tens of thousands.

In self-defence, yes. Imagne a raging wild-eyed band of bolshies barging into a church, pocketing valuable religious artefacts, smashing up priceless statuary and hacking ornate confessionals to pieces. The priest should have come out of the sacristy and said: 'Greetnings lads! In case you want to torch the palce, there's some petrol stored in the cellar.'

It is a known fact that Olejnik collabroated with Jaruzelski's martial-law regime. (Check wikipedia.) Many people that were in the PZPR for personal advantage had the decency to hand in their party cards when martial law was declared. At that time, most of the cultural community were boycotting the official media and entertainment circuit, and a vibrant udnerground culture began developing in Catholic churches. Churches provided a safe haven for uncensored lectures, concerts, exhibitions, poetry readings and other cultural events.

But bringing up Kaczyński senior without providing even a shred of evidence is just so much empty fluff and blather. Sure, it's a free country, so we can even say Abraham Lincoln was actually a space alien. There's no law against it if someone doesn't mind making a fool of himself once again.

Would you expect the Church to enthusiastically embrace a political movement whose aim was to destroy religion, confiscate people's rightlful possessions, promote free love and introduce a godless regime?

Could be Lux has received private bequests with the donors' stipulation that they should remain anonymous, hence their reluctance to throw open their books. Dunno - just speculating. But TVN is a wealthy concern as far as I know, so they could easily even run their Religia TV at a loss just to cut into Trwam's viewership. TVN is the most anti-PiS station there is, don't you agree.

OK, fair enough. But TV Trwam was first and then TVN set up its rival Religia TV. Now they are both on the air. Does the TVN one already have a digital slot or is it bidding for one or what?

The above wikipedia link also shows a photo of a red firing squad taking aim at a statue of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. The British press headlined the event: 'Red assault on Catholic presence in Spain.' Seems some PF-ers have the same mentality as those bolshie gunmen: destroy, purge, eliminate!!

You really are brainwashed! Where did you get your one-sided view of history, from feature films and comic books? Any thoughtful person must admit that the nationalists employed extremely harsh, cruel and extreme methods to rout the bolshevik vermin, but the reds were not exactly holding a Sunday School picnic.

If you taken the time to go beyond urban legends, fiction and buzzwords, you would have learnt about the Red Terror (Terror Rojo), the name given by historians to acts of terror committed by nearly all the so-called 'republicans' or 'loyalists' in the Spanish Civil War. They killed tens of thousands of people (including 6,832 members of the Catholic clergy). They also launched as attacks on landowners, industrialists, and politicians as well as desecrating and burning of monasteries and churches:

The bad news is that Palikot is in and potential coalition partners PSL and SP are out. And to think not long ago someone said 'it'll ever happen!' when I predicted a 37 or 38% win for PiS. We'll see!

It was efffectively communist and pro-Soviet. Sure they hid behind high-sounding terms like republican and loyalist, but the ubiquitous Stalin portraits showed under whose patronage the red slaughter was being carried out. They were bent on introducing Soviet-style rule as soon as they consolidated their power. In your view, there was no such thing 'as the Comintern designed to spread the red menace world-wide? Stalin's Comintern masterminded, organised and bankrolled the so-called 'brigades' through web of Soviet spies and sympathetic collaborators.

A nice euphemism for communist guerirllas recrutied from ariound the world by Stalin's Comintern. They included the communist Abraham Lincoln Brigade set up by the Communist Party of the USA and Poland's Dąbrowski Brigade. To have allowed the 'legally elected' communist government considate theri rule would have unleashed a red bloodbath unlike anything ever seen outside the USSR.

The fact that leftist writers have glamourised the so-called 'republican side' has somehow made it trendy amongst the gullible to badmouth the nationalists fighting to free their land of bolshevik infiltration.

Both sides used extremely cruel methods but what they stood for is what counts. Religious groups that collaborated with the red scourge were dealt with harshly. The bottom line is that luckily communism did not gain a foothold along Europe's western fringes.

Don't forget that Hitler was also legally elected. Bur Germany lacked a Franco with the balls to nip things in the bud early on before the Nazis could unleash their wave of death and destruction.

Never forget it was Franco's Spain that repeated Poland's 1920 victory over the Bolshevik assault. Only a few km had separated the invading red hordes from the Prussian border beyond which pro-communist German workers were seething with unrerst awaiting 'liberation' by their Russian comrades.

Were it not for Franco's rebuff of the Stalinist forces that tried to set up shop there, all of Europe might have been engulfed by the red menace. You're surprised the Church backed Franco? Who should they have backed, the red scum that was murdering clergy, raping nuns, pillaging and burning down churches under portraits of Stalin and hammer and sickle emblems. Back to History 101!

Anybody can think up a 'religon' on his computer and start solicitng funds. Is that a legitmate religon or a scam?
Legitimate means a socially accepted body of believers that is officially recognised and legally registered in a given country. Since our focus is Poland, how many believers are non-Christian? Satanism in Poland is not one

of the registered denominations nor is Scientology.
