Why is it worth defending the Pope? – the fact that we gotta ask specified questions speaks a lot about ourselves. 1 would like to answer briefly: due to the fact that it is worth being decent. It's just that in these mundane times, it's an empty slogan. Decentness has ceased to be seen as something important, valuable. It became a fig leaf that poorly conceals cynicism and wickedness.
After all, it is the decency of those who present John Paul IIKarol the war spit. They don't see anything indecent in doing it on a circumstantial political assignment. Neither was the fact that even a fewer years ago they cut off coupons of their professional career from the media creation of the "JPII generation".
So possibly more than referring to ethics, intellectual arguments will come to us. Like the curiosity of the charges. For from far distant you can see that this hoax sews thick threads. If individual breaks the disgust and takes a close look at it, he will immediately see a broken, crumpled pattern.
Years later, “they find” “victims” that interrupt silence. There are thick accusations that nobody answers. Who's expected to answer erstwhile the suspect is dead? Then the witnesses show up. They don't should be credible or have anything to say. There are besides “documents”. Sometimes even ridiculous, but usually of no cognitive value. Then you just gotta movie media hysteria and add a small bit of media failure that the church hierarchs so abundantly manage. And we have a recipe ready. On spit, disgust, mixing with mud almost everyone.
No brakes, no boundaries. For example, they usage people who are clearly disturbed, frequently with zero credibility. specified a mechanics took place during the hunt, on Cardinal Gulbinovich. Then he tracked the mechanisms of this perfidy and exposed Peter Rain in the book “Hunting the Cardinal. Henry Gulbinowicz’s case, which was published by our publishing house. present fewer of us (too little) remember how this prominent yet controversial priest was condemned. How false accusations arose against him and how the highest church authorities sentenced him to infamy. Opportunism, cowardice and stupidity. Which present is two.
However, returning to the attack on John Paul II itself: it is not a peculiar surprise for me. From the beginning, the question was not whether it would happen, but erstwhile it would happen. Besides, the first swallow of what is happening present in liberal-left media was the phenomenon of "censopapa". Retaliating with John Paul II, mainly through social media, at least originally had a spontaneous character and was a reaction to the widely and forcefully promoted cult of Pope-Polek. It appeared even during his life but began to grow rapidly around 2009, to scope his apogee in 2014. It's hard to be surprised. In the area of canonization it was possible to get the impression that John Paul II would start looking at us from a proverbial refrigerator. In view of the surge of occasional gadgets, this was not specified an improbable scenario.
Either way, the seed was sown. For the generation of present 20-year-olds, the Pope-Poles is no longer an crucial figure, who, though from a distance, was present by an crucial part of their lives. He's the face of the net meme. And not a kind or kind face. Thus John Paul II ceased to be the object of worship and became the object of inexcusable jokes.
Let us add to this the progressive secularization of the society and the unique incompatibility of Polish hierarchs in the area of communication with the faithful and the recipe we have ready for disaster. Just take out a fewer “witnesses” and any papers from 1 of the most crucial in our past to make a degenerate defender of pedophiles. It's time to choice and hit. The simplest was the choice of performers. In a morally rotten journalistic world, uncovering hyena is much easier than uncovering a decent man.
By the way, it would be worth following up on the money trail, which reliably leads to actual payers. This would be possible if, like Georgia, we adopted a law on "foreign agents". specified an act imposes on all organisations that receive more than 20% of their abroad funds, the work to registry as "foreign agents". Those who do not comply with these rules must be subject to advanced fines. I bet dollars against nuts that if we had this instrument fast, we'd get to George Soros's money. Both in the current case and in many erstwhile cases. What unites them is not only the intention to harm the church but besides the intention to harm Poland, a unusual coincidence that usually appears in their own company.
Let us have no illusions, however, that solutions like Georgian will not happen. First of all, due to the fact that they would exposure all financial ties. Then it could turn out that the only environments that do not take a shameful juggle are those, stigmatized as “ruskie onuce” ...
John Paul II was a priest and politician. In both areas, it peaked, leaving a lasting track in history. Was this beneficial for us? We have all right to argue about this. Let us, however, do so in moderation. As political realists, we cannot ignore the fact that present John Paul II is not just a historical figure, but inactive a globally recognized brand. 1 of the fewer we have as a nation. Therefore, let us not lose our freedom to discuss. Not even to aid those who effort to destruct the brand. These are not friends of Poland or the Church. On the contrary.
