We will not allow the image of a man recognized by the entire free world as a pillar of victory over the evil empire to be destroyed. Pope John Paul II is a symbol of Poland’s regaining independence and liberation from the Russian sphere of influence, PiS politicians emphasize in the draft resolution submitted to the Sejm on Wednesday.
The Sejm of the Republic of Poland strongly condemns the shameful campaign in the media, largely based on the materials of the violence apparatus of the People’s Republic of Poland, whose target is the Great Polish Pope – St. Pope John Paul II
– we read in the motion for a resolution.

It indicated that “an attempt to discredit John Paul II with material that even the communists dared not use refers to methods that place the authors outside the circle of civilization to which Poland has belonged since 1989.”
The document recalls the Sejm resolution declaring 2020 the year of John Paul II, passed almost unanimously just four years ago due to political divisions:
Saint John Paul II occupies a special place in the history of Poland and Europe. His decisive plea for our fatherland’s right to freedom among the nations of Europe, his practical defense of our nation’s rights made the Holy Father the main father of Polish independence.
We will not allow the image of a man recognized by the entire free world as a pillar of victory over the evil empire to be destroyed. Pope John Paul II is a symbol of Poland’s regaining independence and liberation from the Russian sphere of influence, which was repeatedly recalled in their speeches by world leaders, including US President Joe Biden on his last visit to Poland
mentioned in the motion for a resolution.
As members of parliament, we express our gratitude to all citizens who stood up for the Great Pole. This has been done by people who are far from the church, as well as by people who belong to it and who have fought for years to correct the mistakes made after the wrongs came to light.
– we read on.
Let our attitude be a witness to all those who try to take away our dignity and erase our memory. John Paul II was a model not only for society, but for the entire political class, at the time when our democracy was born. Poland and their democratically elected representatives will never allow his memory to be destroyed with material manufactured by the communist system he opposed
– added.
PiS spokesman: They fought with John Paul II during his life, they fight after death
In an interview with PAP, PiS spokesman Rafał Bochenek justifies the submission of a resolution by his formation.
John Paul II is a great figure in our nation’s history. During his life he was harassed many times by the communist SB services, today he is again the target of an unprecedented attack by a TV station founded by employees of the former security service
– say.
He emphasizes that “evil has no boundaries and no brakes”.
They fought with John Paul II in life, they fight after death
he adds.
The TVN station prepared its propaganda report based on prepared communist denunciations of SB collaborators
– indicates.
As he emphasizes, “this is not +historical truth+, just a simple propaganda campaign under the false position of the communist security services.”
These are methods known from the previous system, but still live in their heirs. For the specific political gain of their opposition patrons, they want to divide and quarrel Polish society
– say.
John Paul II is a great figure in the history of our nation, a man who was the first to fight, also in the structures of the Church, the heinous crime of pedophilia
– emphasizes Rafał Bochenek.
Polish freedom is the work of John Paul II. He is the embodiment of our values and foundations, regardless of our views or beliefs. Today we parliamentarians must be on the side of truth and not on the side of communist deceit. On the value side. On the side of the hero of our freedom, Saint John Paul II. That’s what the resolution is for
– say.
On Monday TVN24 broadcast a report by Marcin Gutowski “Franciszkańska 3”, which described the cases of three priests: Bolesław Saduś, Eugeniusz Surgent and Józef Loranc, and the reaction of the then metropolitan of Krakow, Cardinal Karol Wojtyla. The report also contained statements by the Dutch journalist Ekke Overbeek, the author of the book ‘Maxima Culpa. What the Church Is Hiding About John Paul II.
