PiS voters

The problem with PiS is that they don't have voters (wyborcy), they have believers (wyznawcy). That's why their numbers aren't decreasing even after the most embarassing antics of the government.

Travel / Any Anglican churches in Poland? [35]

I'm not sure if there are any Anglican churches in Poland, but Old Catholic churches who are members of Utrecht Union (among them Kościół Polskokatolicki) are in full communion with the Church of England.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bonn_Agreement_(Christianity)

So, any anglican in Poland may attend Mass and partake in Holy Communion in polskokatolickie parishes. Here's a list:

polskokatolicki.pl/STRUKTURA/diecezja_warszawska.htm - Warsaw Diocese

polskokatolicki.pl/STRUKTURA/diecezja_krakowsko_czestochowska.htm - Cracow-Czestochowa Diocese

polskokatolicki.pl/STRUKTURA/diecezja_wroclawska.htm - Wrocław Diocese

We welcome our Anglican brothers with open arms :) If you are in Gdańsk - that's the parish church you want to visit:

PiS created a new religion

Yes, and Roman-Catholic church in Poland decided to join it. How sad an end for once a genuinely Christian church.

News / Years of Poland in the EU - assessment of pros and cons [1139]

the EU is more upset that Poland isn't going along with the anal agenda

Bollox. The EU is simply asking their member states to respect their own Constitutions. Apparently it's too much to ask of PiS (or president Duda, who swore to defend the Constitution).

That was only because of the Warsaw Pact

They took part in partitions of Poland because of the Warsaw Pact? That's a very interesting theory! :)

Travel / Any Anglican churches in Poland? [35]

there were issues a few years ago due to their objection to female priests and bishops

I think you meant PNCC (Polish National Catholic Church) in the USA, who left the Utrecht Union over the matter. KP in Poland, however, is a UU member, hence in full communion with C of E.

News / Poland highest inflation in 20 years [319]

they focus on people, slogans, silly issues, and parties

That's true. All the voters should concentrate on one thing mainly - economy. All the rest (judicial system, LGBT free zones, ownership of TV stations, Constitution etc. etc.) can be discussed only when the economy is in perfect working order. All the parties in Poland are great at promoting secondary issues and avoiding the real problems.

all C of E Bishops since 1930 have Old Catholic consécration too

Brilliant. After all, Anglicans and Old Catholics are two Catholic churches (but not Roman!).

That's the blueprint of ecumenism that all Christian churches should follow.

they are reduced

Truth is not measured in number of adherents, otherwise we would all have to be Confucianists of Hindu. :) True Christians are supposed to be "the salt of the Earth"; and how much salt can you have in a dish? 90%? 50%? That would be hardly edible, wouldn't it? :)

almost 40 per cent of adult Polish population

More like 20 per cent of adult population (only about 50-60 percent usually turns up for the elections). There might possibly be around 3-4% of wyborcy among them, but the rest are typical wyznawcy, you can't reason with them, you can't argue - they just believe that PiS are godsent saviours of Poland (and bishops like Jędraszewski are only reinforcing the belief :)).

PO, PSL or SLD

I mentioned it some time ago in a discussion with Iron - there are simply no sensible parties to vote for in Poland. One is always force to vote for so-called "lesser evil".

they have no right to stop founds

Why not? It's their money.

It's one thing to be openly anti-EU and speak of "EU occupation of Poland" and another to ask to be flooded with EU money on top of that. :)

News / Polish PM Tusk- dictator or not? What Poles think? [372]

are desperately trying to wave away reality with their silly propaganda

It is rather sad to see where they ended up. I once thought of them as an ordoliberal government (with a slightly nationalistic slant) but they have lost the plot completely since then. Oh, well... it's only two more years. Here's hoping.

Maybe it won't be quite as bad as that.

The bright side is - people will never vote any PiS or PiS-like party into power again. Also, the position of RCC in our society will start resembling their position in any other western European country. They will pay dearly for their unholy pact with PiS.

No, it's not. Neither is modesty, truthfulness or common decency for that matter. How can a theoretically Christian country have political class so completely and utterly devoid of anything even resembling Christian virtues is beyond me...

Off-Topic / NATO within NATO? [33]

The UK, US and Australia have announced a historic security pact in the Asia-Pacific, in what's seen as an effort to counter China.
The pact also created a row with France, which has now lost a deal with Australia to build 12 submarines.

"It's really a stab in the back," France's Foreign Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian told France Info radio.

bbc.com/news/world-58564837

All three being NATO members sign a separate defense treaty, seriously annoying France, an important NATO member, in the proccess. Could it be the end of NATO as we know it?

the billion dollar/euro contract

According to the media it was a 40-billion dollar deal - a lot to be annoyed about!

It's just the pissy French

They recalled their ambassadors from USA and Australia! Looks like they're really pissed off.

And I'm still not quite sure why a separate defense pact was needed between countries who are already NATO members.

Po polsku / Dlaczego nie po drodze nam z polską prawicą [1391]

Jak chleb będzie po 10 złotych a litr paliwa też dychę

...a do tego horrendalnie drogi gaz, inflacja 10%, stopy procentowe jak kiedyś w Turcji przy duszeniu inflacji i komornicy na karkach kredyciarzy. Nie wspominając już o tragedii w służbie zdrowia, upadku szkolnictwa i cały czas trwającej zapaści demograficznej (pogłębionej emigracją). Jaka piękna katastrofa!

News / What should Poland do with the problem of Belarus? [1694]

Close the borders with Belarus and Russia completely for both cargo and passenger movement. The cost will be overwhelming for them.

They only understand the language of power.

Polish soldiers were attacked with tear gas by migrants...

onet.pl/informacje/onetszczecin/polscy-zolnierze-ucierpieli-bo-migranci-rozpylali-gaz/61ed2lb,79cfc278

... so now Belarus is arming them with gas. I wonder when will they give them proper weapons. This will get nasty if the EU/NATO don't do something soon.

Police also reports armed migrant groups robbing houses in the border area. More police forces are being sent from Masovia. This gets more and more serious...

@Korvinus

I agree with everything in your post except for this...

nothing will be done (...) German media will start propaganda how fascist Poles beat innocent women and children once **** hits the fan.

... it would mean betraying Poland, and Germany are our allies.

Lithuanian authorities report that migrants are being transported from Polish to Lithuanian border. I said that this would happen - they will cross Lithuanian border more easily and head towards Lithuanian-Polish border, stretching our forces. If the same thing happens on Ukrainian border it will require doubling the forces at least. :-/

This will cost billions and the EU is blocking Polish funds, because we are "undemocratic". Brilliant...

We already have razor wire and state of emergency, as well as throngs of Army/Police at the border (more than the entire Lithuanian Army), and still some of them manage to get through. This is not looking good...

@jon

Good article. Their plan is simply to stretch our lines and get as many migrants through as possible. There is not a snowball's chance in hell that Lithuania will effectively guard 679 km of border with Belarus (compared to our 416), so that's a huge problem (NATO should first reinforce Lithuanian border), and Ukrainians have their problems in the east. Unless a coordinated response by the EU/NATO is prepared soon, things will get even worse.

a nasty personal comment

The fact of your being stuck on a significant depth inside the anus of the current Russian president can easily be inferred from your numerous posts on this board, so that's hardly an insult. Merely stating a fact in, perhaps, somewhat direct manner but a fact nonetheless.

in response to legit questions

What legit questions? Those that directly or indirectly suggest the lack of involvment of Russian support behind the entire refugee crisis? You're having a laugh.

So what about those "firm coordinated steps"?

I already mentioned them: total and immediate closure of cargo transport to/from Belarus and Russia. When the gangsters calculate the amount of money they lose, they will quickly end their hybrid war antics. Other sanctions were mentioned here too by BB - it's all here to read, but I appreciate that those solutions can be hardly visible from the dark and rather smelly place where you currently reside (yes, I mean the Putin's rectum and it's not an insult).

We can get gas on reverse from Germany, and buy it from the US, Norway or Quatar, even if it costs more. We can also increase our domestic production by about 1 billion metric metres, so all this combined should suffice. In the long run Russia cannot afford to lose their gas money, so this wouldn't work very well for them.

Do you think they will risk losing s*itloads of money (the mainstay of their economy, in fact) for this refugee comedy/parody? I think not.

EDIT: As a matter of fact we can increase domestic production by 7-11 billion metric meters...

At the moment 1800 refugees are inside Polish migrant facilities, and about 300 have already agreed to go back to their countries of origin. Poland will pay for the return tickets and provide some "wyprawka" (pocket money) for them. :)
