The height of insolence is the suggestion by some opposition media columnists that the defense of John Paul II is part of a campaign in which PiS is betting on division. It’s just the opposite. By defending John Paul II, I am defending the unity of the Poles, Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki stressed on Sunday.
On Sunday, Prime Minister Morawiecki posted another episode of his podcast on social media, which he devoted entirely to John Paul II.
“The defense of the Polish pope is the defense of unity
The head of government pointed out that “defending the Polish pope is equivalent to defending unity”, and “slandering him is another part of the game of dividing the Poles, breaking what unites us and common to us is sacred to us”.
But this game is doomed to fail. The legacy of John Paul II is much stronger than the security records that are supposed to disprove it. Just as good is stronger than evil
Morawiecki emphasized.
Attempts to present John Paul II and the Church through the prism of depravity or even crimes committed by depraved priests are no different than presenting the attitude of Poles during World War II through the prism of blackmailers and collaborators
emphasized the prime minister.
So he’s not surprised that “the same people, the same editors often use both tricks,” he added.
Everyone can judge for themselves whether what is happening in the media around John Paul II is a fair debate about the recent history of the Church, or a campaign against an institution that is important for the identity of the Poles.
noted Morawiecki.
On Thursday, the Sejm passed a resolution on defending the good name of St. John Paul II. The resolution was passed after the report “Franciszkańska 3”, broadcast on Monday on TVN 24 about what Pope John Paul II knew about cases of pedophilia among priests.
“TVN 24’s frontal assault on John Paul II
The Prime Minister said in his podcast that he said a week ago that “the hot political season is just ahead”.
It did not occur to me then that at a time when there is a bloody war going on beyond our eastern border, which also threatens us, someone will try to start an internal war against our tradition and identity.
he said.
This is how I perceive TVN 24’s frontal attack on John Paul II – Poland’s most notable, one of the giants of the turn of the 20th and 21st centuries
said the head of government. He judged that “this is a blow to social order and at the worst possible time”.
John Paul II was a man of flesh and blood – imperfect, like all of us, great for his wisdom, humility and actions, as well as the love people gave him. That is why people erect monuments to him and name schools and hospitals after him. He is a saint of the Church and a true hero of our time
Morawiecki emphasized.
The head of government noted that he watched the TVN 24 report “with little hope of an even voice on a matter that matters to all Poles, Catholics and parents”.
Unfortunately, instead of journalistic reliability, I saw propaganda work. The authors of the report explained that they were looking for answers to important questions, but when they talked about discovering the supposed secrets of Karol Wojtyła, they also announced that the aim was to dispel the myth of the saint. cast.
– added.
In the end, the viewer sees a story full of innuendos. Thus, the axis of the story is reports from former employees of the communist secret police. However, for reliability it would have to be shown more clearly that the commune fought Karol Wojtyła and later John Paul II in various ways, but never succeeded in breaking or discrediting him.
said the prime minister.
According to Morawiecki, “It is similar to this pseudo-reportage – from the very beginning, the stake was not the truth, but an attack on the Polish pope.”
And you know what’s the worst? That it is not at all about concern for the good of the Church, nor about the need to burn with fire the sin that burdens the conscience of some priests. It is about destroying the myth of the greatest of our compatriots. (…) This is propaganda in its purest form
remarked the head of government. In his opinion, “the so-called TVN 24 documentary is nothing more than an attempted defamation.
The Pope led us to truth and freedom. It was a difficult and ambitious path, often requiring sacrifice, self-sacrifice, acceptance of one’s limitations, and great humility. The road to perfection required taking the burden off your shoulders
said Morawiecki.
Meanwhile, he continued, “an attempt to destroy the authority of John Paul II is also a path to a world in which we are slaves.”
The attempt to build a post-Christian world is only a false promise of freedom. It is an attempt to create a world in which man is only for himself, where responsibility for family, friends and community does not matter.
noted the prime minister.
