“Unfortunately, this is a form of civilizational struggle, and at the same time – an election campaign that will be extremely dirty will try to hit all things sacred,” Law and Justice MP Robert Gontarz told the wPolityce.pl portal.
“He gave the Poles hope”
A series of media publications, a report, a book – recent attempts have been made to convince public opinion in Poland that Pope John Paul II was not only aware of cases of pedophilia in the Catholic Church, but also took no action to this exercise.
Why this recently intensified attack on St. John Paul II? We asked PiS MP Robert Gontarz for comment on this matter.
Representatives of the opposition, TVN and others St. John Paul II takes advantage of the fact that some time has passed since his death. They take advantage of the fact that many people don’t remember how great he was. It’s just outrageous
– assesses the interlocutor of wPolityce.pl
And yet it is enough to listen to many experts tell how St. John Paul II fought alongside Ronald Reagan for the fall of communism and the liberation of Poland, and then we will all realize how much the Pope has done for this freedom of our homeland
he adds.
When we look at these papal pilgrimages to Poland, we have testimonies from many people who say that it was always a moment where we could count ourselves, see how many Poles there are who care about a free, independent homeland. John Paul II gave the Poles hope at the time
– emphasizes MP Robert Gontarz.
“A certain form of civilization struggle”
The PiS parliamentarian points out that the accusations against the Polish pope are largely based on SB material and documents.
Why these people who very often reproduce information based on communist material have largely manipulated. They portray John Paul II in an unequivocally negative light, not the whole truth
– indicates.
And yet we cannot trust communist source material. This is an attempt to fight civilization, an attempt to deprive Poles of the greatest role models, those signposts that we could always look to, and which John Paul II certainly was. When we didn’t know which way to go, the holy pope always showed us the way, the direction to go
emphasizes the politician.
Unfortunately, this is a form of civilizational struggle, and at the same time – an election campaign that will be extremely dirty will try all the saints
he makes clear.

Every ideology fights the Church with the same methods! Who will they attack after St. John Paul II? Will there be a series about the “deceiver of Nazareth”?
An organized campaign
Some Poles remember both the day when John Paul II ascended the throne of Peter, the subsequent pilgrimages, until the moment of the Pope’s departure to the Father’s House, some – only the day of John Paul II’s death, but the first generations of people who already knew that Karol Wojtyła is coming of age, they don’t know, they don’t remember.
If we analyze how the pope was attacked, at first they were not so much trying to attack him as a person or as a prominent authority, but simply to ridicule him. These words refer to St. John Paul II, the memes that appeared – at the very beginning it was about taking away from John Paul II such a dimension of sacrum, this sanctity that surrounded him
says Gontarz.
And when this – as it seems today – part of the organized campaign was already successful, such an agreement that the pope can also be laughed at, then the attack was launched. But it only happened when – firstly – the pope cannot defend himself because he is dead, and secondly – when almost 18 years have passed since the death of John Paul II and there is already a whole generation of people who cannot remember the times remember when John Paul II lived. It is also people who were very young when he still held the office of Peter, who also do not remember those emotions and what a great moral authority John Paul II was for the whole world
he adds.
He was a moral authority and a leader regardless of religion
– indicates.
John Paul II as Polish Ambassador
The surprising thing about the attack on John Paul II is that many politicians, journalists and celebrities who attack him today considered him an authority for many years, shared touching memories of pilgrimages, mourned his death, willingly participated in concerts or ceremonies commemorating birthdays associated with Pope Pole or celebrated canonization. Why is this happening, do they not remember today?
This only shows one thing: there are politicians for whom nothing is sacred. So they will talk and act in the direction the polls indicate. If the polls show that it is time to attack John Paul II, they will do so without hesitation. However, for me, as a representative of the young generation, St. John Paul II will always remain a great authority
– says Robert Gontarz.
We must not forget that it is also on the international arena thanks to his actions, where recently even Joe Biden said that during a meeting with St. John Paul II, he talked about Polish affairs all the time. This shows how great an ambassador of Poland he was and how important his homeland was to him
he adds.
Experts in the field emphasize that, together with Ronald Reagan, they developed the so-called tacit diplomacy, through which concrete, real actions were taken, which enabled Poland to free itself from this undesirable, communist yoke. However, now there are people who use various half-truths, understatements, to discredit this great Pole.
– concludes the PiS MP.
