The cross in Polish parliament - Does it bother you?

yeah - the same rhetorics PO uses - and at the same time they give rise to division and hate themselves (see their last election campaign's spot)

Yes, it was selfish.

I want to keep the cross but not at the cost of other beliefs. Let`s retrieve the famous Polish religious tolerance!

You can be religiously tolerant but still have the cross in parliament. Poland is not Britain, it is not secular. Poland is in the majority a Catholic country and most certainly in majority Christian, so there is no problem is showing that, whole allowing others to practise their own religions too. This is something many Islamic countries do not allow.

Still, let me repeat, majority doesn`t make 100%.

Fierce, fanatical defence of the cross today will only result in fiercer, more fanatical attacks on it in the future.
Do we fekking need it?

Do you really see something wrong in the cross being accompanied by other symbols?

Let`s do it today till it isn`t too late.

What part of 'Poland is a Catholic country' do you not understand? British parliament even has to say a prayer as far as I know and that is possibly one of the most secular countries in the world, but it is tradition there. Christianity is in Poland's tradition. Why alter it? Why not just leave it alone. I do not remember it bothering anyone before. Those who want to take the cross off are not arguing for having other symbols, they just do not want it there because somehow it offends their feelings. If you have other symbols up they are probably going to have a problem with that too, because it infringes on their right not to believe in anything. How about leave it as it is? It did not bother people over the past, almost 15 years now. There were no debates in parliament about it before, why is it such a big problem now? I do not remember hearing Jews or Muslims being offended by it and seeing manifestations in the streets. If you want to talk about other alterations, such as possibly stopping a taxation that goes to the Church, that is a different story. The cross however, should stay. More people want it to stay than go, so democracy wins, right? PO also have a majority, only 40%, less than half of Poland, but still a majority, so they are now in charge. Right? Democracy.

The bit about where it says that Poland is like that and on whose authority.

BTW: if Poland is a Catholic country, why is divorce and remarriage legal in Poland? You do know that it is legal in Poland, don't you?

Because Poland is not run by the Vatican state, but by polititions. It is still in the great majority, Catholic.

Unfortunately, it did and there were.


Yes. I don`t have a problem with that.

I am only predicting what will happen in Poland in 20 years` time.


Exactly. :):):)

How long will Catholic democracy endure? As I said, 20 years. :(:(:(:(:(

Having the majority of citizens as Catholic is not the same as being a Catholic country. If Poland were a Catholic country, contraception would be illegal. You seen any shortage of condoms in Poland?

You can talk to the government about that one.
