Bieszja in the Poznań church – priest Wachowiak: it makes me worse

Bars in deserted churches are typical for the affected by the widespread laicisation of Western Europe. any priests, however, are not disturbed by the solemn atmosphere even on a regular basis serving the liturgy of the temples... In the Poznań parish in Latin, the faithful gathered together for a “vigilian” feast in the chapel, before the Tabernacle jointly eating and partying.

As you can see from the pictures from the event, tables and long benches were set up in the temple, where a large number of participants gathered. Those who did not have adequate seats were sitting on extra chairs. The photographs besides capture a photograph of a dog lying in a sacred place.

Rev. Daniel Wachowiak, pastor of the parish of St. Brother Albert in the Kozieglovy Poznań, has been denouncing the usage of the sacral space. The clergyman in social media pointed out that the secular event was not decently separated from the sacred sphere. In his opinion, the Blessed Sacrament was not even transferred from the tabernacle during the event.

“Tabernakulum and around the feast. I wrote to my colleague, the parish priest, that it made me worse," commented the clergyman on the X service.

Many defenders of the way the young parish works in Poznań Latin responded to the entry of Fr Wachowiak. They argued that akin initiatives were utilized to build a community and to show love for man.

Responding in his video blog to this criticism, Fr Daniel Wachowiak noted that in akin statements the most crucial aspect of building relations with faithful and friendly atmosphere in the parish is overlooked - the intent of specified actions.

– Life is focused first on the liturgy, at the Most Holy Victim, and we must take care of that. Christ is the most important! You shall love the Lord your God. What is the Church for, among another things? present there is specified a fashion, specified a trend, that people talk constantly about integration, about creating a community. There is an understatement in that sentence. There's a grain of false. The community is not an end in itself. (...) – he returned cleric attention.

Here, let me clarify that small can be changed, and so much can be changed. https://t.co/FN39KCOTpLhttps://t.co/AiH890Jbr0

The priest besides pointed out that modern - day disregard of the importance of man’s worship and worship toward God is inappropriate. As he emphasized, the Christian’s attitude toward God should imitate the relation of the Savior with God the Father as shown in the Gospel. – Jesus was kneeling in Gethsemane, having large respect for God the Father, always spoke of him in a son-in-law relationship, but always in a relation specified that God the Father is individual I want to fulfill. See that this is going against the current trend, where you want to emphasize all the time that we are actually to fraternize, to solidarity, to shake hands to feel good... and did Jesus feel good about Golgoth? – asked the clergy.

As Rev. Wachowiak added, it is besides seldom mentioned present that the actual meaning of the Most Holy Sacrifice is very important, which leads to an overestimation of its character as a joyful feast. – Very frequently people confuse what Mass is. She's not the last supper. Holy Mass is the fruit of Holy Friday and Sunday of Resurrection. Therefore, erstwhile the Mass is happening, we do not imitate the Last Supper of the large Thursday, we decision to the large Friday and take a stand in harmony with that day. – he noted.
