Bishop Tadeusz Pieronek, a former secretary-general of the Polish Episcopal Conference and very highly regarded here in Poland has said publicly what most people here think.
He accused Kaczynski and the PiS junta of trying to create a "quasi-religious 'cult' " around his late brother Lech Kaczynski.
He said the monthly (yes, monthly!) processions through Warsaw to commemoration of the Smolensk disaster, led by Kaczyński, are "pure politics, without religious character, During the speeches there are no words for the victims of the disaster. It's no longer about the dead. It's about politics."
Worth mentioning that a survey published this week found that 74% of Poles would like the marches to end; only 14% want them to continue.
