Americans of Polish descent. How many of us are on Polish forums?

@kaprys
I was referring to the OP's title of the thread
"Americans of Polish decent"
We have foreign trolls responding instead.

Come on, why would a leftie care what the Pope thinks or any other religious leader?
As for Catholics and Poles not giving a damn about him, check the numbers at Światowe Dni Młodzieży last year.
So could you please explain why you think he's for lefties?

So, its true. Ive heard that Rydzyk flies around Poland in his own helicopter.

He took advantage of this elderly Polish couple that used to own a little deli/store here in Chicago.

Rydzyk doesn't bless anything for free! It cost them a Rolex, besides a first class ticket and a swanky hotel room.

His blessing didn't work either. 3 months later they closed down the business.

They don't! They frequently make lame attempts to tell Catholics how THEY would like THEM to vote or what choices to make in politicks. Using as their props ups words of religious figures, and if the pope as this case might be is very vague and ambiguous in the way he expresses himself they just jump on those phrases and opinions with renewed vigor.


Geez, the pope have no say in anything else but religious dogmas while speaking officially ex-cathedra. Interviews, speeches, his opinions so on can be very well skipped and are skipped by the most people. If kids want to see the pope they are there mostly to see a symbol a head of their religion, it would not matter if somebody else was in his stead.

There are only few issues in todays politics that can be and are influenced by religious beliefs - most of them are not.


Seems they are loaded regardless so might be that closed business was good for the salvation of their souls.

So what a man of God can't enjoy the finer things on this earth lol the owner of the tallest residential building in eu (skytower) is a bishops son..

Poles don't care about the new pope...not like jp2 anyway
