An open letter from the Polish priest to Cardinal Grzegorz Rys

Praised be Jesus Christ!

The Apostolic Nunciature in Poland on 26 November 2025, in a communication, announced that "Father Saint Leon XIV: He accepted the resignation of Archbishop Marek Jędraszewski from the service of Archbishop of Kraków Metropolitan. He appointed the Archbishop of Kraków as the erstwhile Archbishop of Łódź Cardinal Grzegorz Rys". This decision has sparked many and different reactions in Poland, which I would like to join and my own. I express my doubts and concerns about the effects of the appointment of the Cardinal to the Archbishop of Kraków. I call upon the Eminence not to rush into office. There is inactive a small time left until the date of the ingress. I so dare to make the following appeal in a sense of work for the Church of Christ, whose task is to discern and respond to the signs of the time. I would like to point out a fewer specified signs with respect to the Cardinal of Service.

I remember the neighborhood.

preceding the Cardinal-General's appointment in 2023. It was an evilly celebrated Mass under the leadership of the Bishop during the Youth Arena on 13 September 2021. It caused specified a scandal that the Cardinal felt compelled to publically apologize to the faithful for the stumbling caused during the Holy Mass to make consecration without an earlier act of penance and a liturgy of the word. Despite this unpleasant incidental and repercussions which he caused, Pope Francis appointed Priest Bishop Cardinal, and Priest Bishop accepted this appointment. This is simply a liturgical abuse, it seems intentional and planned, has not become a reason to recapture and revise its conduct. With this act of disregard for God’s worship on his conscience, the bishop accepted the dignity

Cardinal.

The current nomination takes place in the context of a scandalous event, which I see as an analogous sign. Fr Cardinal took part in the Forum of legislature of Catholics and Catholics in Łódź on 22-23 November this year. The presence of an crucial hierarch at the assembly of an organization that promotes the demands of women's ordination, acceptance of homosexual acts and contraception, shows recklessness or cynicism. There is no uncertainty that this ellipse of people, although unilaterally declaring as Catholics, wants to provoke and herit in the Polish Church. This is evidenced by the links with the Foundation of religion and the Rainbow, and during the Forum itself the presence of LGBT activists. Therefore, just as in the case of the incidental with the Youth Arena, I see in the actions of the Cardinal Fr. The aforementioned convention, at which the Cardinal was even 1 of the speakers, began with a prayer led by Bishop Tomasz Puchalski, Head of the Catholic Church Reformed in Poland. It is simply a community that supports homosexual acts. The ecumenical nature of the forum was to advocate specified a form of start. Eminence's consent to attend this gathering shows his acceptance in this form. Is this what the Ecumenism of the Apostles’ Successor is expected to look like? The community of reformed Catholics did not separate from the Catholic Church due to the theological differences. Its emergence fits into modern relativization of moral norms and the conflict to accept acts contrary to human nature. With his authority, the Cardinal supported this controversial convention begun with an apparent prayer. Its falsehood was that it was not to glorify God, but to show the pride of its participants. Thus it was the prayer of the Pharisee, who puts himself in the place of God in his conceit. The presence of Eminence became the seal of specified an attitude and exposed the false shepherd of the rainbow flag. This is simply a bad sign for the souls of the faithful entrusted to the Cardinal of Care. Unfortunately, it reflects the full attitude.

As 1 with the highest dignity in the Church in Poland, Priest Cardinal continues to shock and make many Catholics worse. You pose as an authority among the participants of the public debate, but I dare say it is simply a mask for which you hide the cynical face of an activist who wants to gain

The applause of opinion-making elites. Very often, Eminence refers to the common roots of Christianity and modern Judaism. However, I cannot realize how the Old Testament can be reconciled with seeking space for dialog with those who call upon God’s name to bless Sodom’s sin. Tomasz Puchalski, Foundation of religion and Rainbow and legislature of Catholics and Catholics summon God only to preach homosexual propaganda dressed in spiritual phrases. By falsely pious words, they build the Talmud principles to reconcile the praise of sin with God’s Revelation. In the name of this contradiction, as the Jews who reject Christ, are inclined to persecution His disciples, even under the perverse pretext of accusing him of hatred speech. specified twisted reasoning is not abroad to the Cardinal. During the 74th anniversary of the liquidation of the Łódź ghetto, the priest said: “The demolition was created by people, to a large degree – it must be said with pain of heart and confession – people whose Christian churches besides raised at their services.” What were these words to express if not an indication of the Gospel as a origin of anti-Semitism? Isn't there the same twisted logic behind them that was erstwhile active in judaic circles reviewing Mel Gibson's movie “Passion” as anti-Semitic? Fr. Maciej Bishop (a Catholic from Catholic and Catholic Congress) went 1 step further. During an ecumenical service organized by the evangelical-reformed parish in Warsaw and the religion and Rainbow Foundation on 19 May 2023 he compared the approach of the Church to homosexuals with anti-Semitism which led to the Holocaust during planet War II. This Dominican gave his thesis, co-chairing in the service, during which the rainbow flag and Holy Scripture were displayed together. Do you feel no remorse erstwhile you cooperate with specified people? By sharing with them the tendency to associate everything with planet War II, he sees no resemblance to an army that has a motto Gott mit uns Did she lead paganism in Europe? Is not the same thing done by Catholics possessed by the spirit of relativism declaration Fiducia supplicans? Why did Fr. Cardinal immediately distance himself from Poles who opposed candlelight in public buildings as a sign of the dominance of the judaic lobby and gave harsh and harsh words, and the rainbow activists were honored with their presence and gave a non-binding lecture? Why does judaic chauvinism in the opinion of the Cardinal deserve to be defended, and the letters of the Apostle Paul concerning the sin of intercourse contrary to nature to silence? In the Old Testament, homosexual acts are besides called sin. possibly due to the fact that it is not the Old Testament, but a perverse attitude toward God’s commandments.

This perverseness was besides expressed in a letter to the Łódź dioceses on the 16th Sunday of the average year. This letter was awarded with publication in “Gazeta Wyborcza”, and the author of the letter – Priest Cardinal was honored with a photograph on the title page. The letter contained a critical mention to the concerns of many Poles about their safety in connection with the illegal crossing of the western border by non-European migrants. In his words, the pastor of the diocese directed an ideological appeal to the faithful, utilizing the interpretations of Bible texts. In the end, he called for giving up his concern for the common good. The full line of the Polish episcopate, expressed in the Communication of the Council of the Polish Episcopal Conference on Migration, Tourism and Pilgrimage on the debate on migrants and refugees signed by Bishop Krzysztof Zadarko on 12 July 2023, that the issues of their adoption "there is no request to make mention decisions". Eminence, identifying the admission of immigrants with the hospitality of the Holy Trinity with Abraham and the Lord Jesus in the home of Lazarus, stated that the right of all man is to choose a place to live. However, the explanation of the Catechism of the Catholic Church in point 2241 states that "political authorities, on account of the common good for which they are responsible, may subject the right to emigrate to different legal conditions, especially respect for the obligations of migrants towards the host country. The immigrant is obliged to honor the material and spiritual heritage of the host country, to obey its laws and to contribute to its expenditure.”Thus, in the light of the teachings of Catechism, Eminence’s argument proves to be a political manifesto in the spiritual environment despite depriving itself of politics. Unrealised and perverse accusations against the people accused of utilizing "bad language" in the debate on the safety of national borders uncover a deficiency of social sensitivity. Don't you realize the dangers of mass migration from muslim countries? Is not the experience of Western Europe adequate reason for a sovereign nation to consider publically and to defend itself in the context of problems with assimilation of people who are different from the Christian strategy of values? In addition to social sensibility, possibly besides the sense of religion of the Cardinal’s Father to admit spiritual dangers has become dull. These are both the Islamization of Europe and LGBT activism. A gathering at the Mark Edelman Centre, where dialog is more crucial than fact and good, is simply a hand to destruct Christian Europe. due to the fact that what does Tomasz Puchalski and the religion and Rainbow Foundation gotta do with her? They are only postmodern happenings in which the Lord Jesus is utilized for anti-Christian transmission.

The Archdiocese of Łódź has become in fresh years a media base closer to the unprecise conflict and the laboratory of modification of faith. Of the many experiments, 1 could calculate: the ministry of extraordinary stewards, and even the proposition to appoint ad hoc people to distribute Holy Communion. Priest Cardinal boasts that in his diocese he has spread the ministry of the stewards of extraordinary Holy Communion. Arguing the appropriateness of establishing them in a large number, the Cardinal cites the request to bring Holy Communion to the sick, even daily. The secular stewards would carry Holy Communion as part of the ministry of mercy under the sacrament of Holy Baptism. The past of the Church knows specified extraordinary service in times of persecution. It is permitted by the present law of the Church in the face of nonsubjective obstacles preventing the priest from doing this sacred work. However, the belief in the regular ministry of extraordinary stewards is utopian. A sick individual who is given a Holy Communion to receive it well needs a sacramental confession, which a female dressed in an alba or the most godly father of the household will surely not make. Do not the naive arguments show the tendency of the Cardinal to innovate at all costs? Do you not know that wherever the ministry of secular stewards and Communion is spread, the piety of the Blessed Sacrament has fallen in an avalanche? The food for eternal life, the surviving and the actual Lord Jesus, arranged extraordinaryly, is frequently stored anywhere and carried distant any way. Is this the future of the Polish Church? The Church in Poland is the Church loving the Blessed Sacrament. For example, many believers in adoration during the Passover Triduum, the processions in the celebration of God’s Body, and the resulting places of perpetual adoration. Polish Catholics, until the last pandemic, practically did not accept Holy Communion on their hands and are accustomed to what in the Church for centuries was the norm, not the exception that the steward of Holy Communion is simply a priest. It seems that in the approach of the Cardinal to the Blessed Sacrament, there is simply a deficiency of appreciation of the sacrament of the priesthood. possibly for this reason, the prayer of faithful Catholics led by the superior of the community supporting homosexual acts was indifferent to the Cardinal. Supporting homosexual acts is simply a false teaching leading to the disbelief of morals, and a shepherd should defend believers against it.

My concerns about whether a worthy bishop will sit at St. Stanislaus Cathedral are shared by a large part of society and believers. I do not agree that the ministry in the Church should be a tribute to political elites and fashionable ideologies while at the same time diminishing the worship of God and of God's Revelation. I remember how in 2007 a crucial part of Polish public opinion manifested doubts about the appointment of a bishop accused of secretly cooperating with the safety Service for the Warsaw metropolis. Today, together with a large part of my compatriots, I fear the appointment of a public collaborator of rainbow Catholics or, rather, Catholics in the name only. erstwhile speaking against the harmful reception of the declaration “Fiducia supplicans” in the Church in Poland, I ask you to know where the way he chose as a shepherd and to invitation the faithful to. Unfortunately, media homage is already flowing. 1 future bishop was submitted to the Catholic and Catholic legislature Forum participant, transsexual activist Marek Jerzy Minakowski, who posted on Facebook the following entry: “Cardinal Grzegorz Ryś wrote to me (Doctor Maria Minakowska – women!) that my letter passed on to the Secretary-General of the Polish Episcopal Commission (b. Mark Marczak). This is the 3rd bishop to whom I am officially a woman.” In the face of specified alliances, I express my firm opposition and call for reconsideration of the office and the binding heritage of the Kraków metropolis.
