Poland's Baptism 1050th anniversary -- a return to sanity? [13]
The 1050th anniversary of Poland's Baptism has given rise to films exploring various facets of the coutnry's origins. The once promtoed Marxust view that Mieszko's decision was motivated solely by political and diplomatic designs has been disputed. He is now being compared to Constantine who came to deeply believe in the Messiah. Today the Marxist approach is being continued the PC ideology, yet another passing utopia bent on reinventing the world at all costs. It aims to destroy the three main pillars of our civilisation: the family, the Christian faith and the nation state. The advocates of this insane scheme, backed by seemingly august institutions such as the EU and different governments, seem not to notice that our cvilisation is being infiltrated internally and penetrated from without by a an extremely expansive and aggressive belief system that totally rejects PC principles.
1050th anniversary
In a statement released by the Polish Episcopate on Wednesday, the Church confirmed that the Vatican opposes Archbishop Juliusz Paetz playing any role in this week's events.
"Once again, the papal nuncio personally reminded Archbishop Juliusz Paetz today of the instructions he received three years ago that he should refrain from participating in public celebrations," the statement clarifies.
"It is hard to imagine that this would not be maintained during celebrations attended by the papal legate, not to mention the visit of the Holy Father in Poland on the occasion of World Youth Day [in July]."
Celebrations marking the Baptism of Poland are due to be held on Friday in Poznań, western Poland. Paetz was Archbishop of Poznań before being compelled to stand down in March 2002, although he retains the role of senior bishop in the city.
Yesterday, Archbishop Paetz indicated that he would be taking part in the celebrations when asked by a Polish journalist whether this was the case.

"Krzyż i korona" tonight at 9PM on TVP HistoriaAll red-blooded Polish patriots and assorted history buffs should set aside the 9PM slot tonight (15 April) to watch "Krzyż i Korona", a feature film devoted to Poland's Baptism in 966. It is being shown on Poland's TVP Historia (History Channel). Maybe some high-tech ultra-gadgetarian PF-ers based abroad will find some way to watch it online.
