YOU ARE EUROPEAN – BE PRO-LIFE
In the EU countries there is an action of collecting signatures under the European Civil Initiative ‘One of us’. Its purpose is to block EU means for financing abortion, experiments on human embryos and other actions against life, and also create legislation protecting law for life of children from conception. On Sunday 3 February, after the Angelus prayer, the Holy Father XVI expressed his support to the European Civil Initiative ‘One of us’, expressing his wish that Europe would always be a place where every human being will be protected in its dignity. »

The interpretation of the teaching of the Church is presented by every pope, the Teaching Office of the Church but not by TV journalists, newspapers, doctors, ecologist, biology professors, politicians or monks or priests rejecting the priestly state, trying to drown the betrayed Church in intellectual and emotional complexes – said bishops Kazimierz Ryczan. »
GENDER IDEOLOGY OR A ROAD TO ARMAGEDON
ELŻBIETA MORAWIEC
Hell which appeared after the pronouncement of prof. Krystyna Pawłowicz, and also after a list of professors belonging to Academic Civil Clubs in Poznań, Kraków and Łódź, gives a foretaste of how important the matter is. Regardless to the fact that in the Polish reality it plays a role of a smoke curtain over a real, tragic situation of the country, the state of its economy, debts, etc. »
CATASTROPHE OF MILLER’S REPORT
ARTUR STELMASIAK
The official report concerning the Smoleńsk catastrophe is full of mistakes, lies and manipulation. Maybe that is why nobody of Miller’s commission counting over 30 people was courageous enough to attend a university debate which took place on 5 February 2013 at the University of Cardinal Stefan Wyszyński »

It is really difficult to inquire who first started speaking about the Polish-Polish war. Whereas one can be sure that this formulation was created by mass media »
Fr. JAROSŁAW GRABOWSKI
A simple but also a significant gesture of sprinkling ashes on heads started our Great Lent. In the Lent preface we find significant words: ‘Almighty God, You through the carnal Lent reduce defects, raise the spirit…’ In the difficult times of war when lots of people were forced to starve, one could feel an irony in these words, because there was a belief that the Lent takes away freedom from the man. »

SALT OF THE EARTH
JAN MARIA JACKOWSKI

In the encyclical ‘Centesimus annus’ published in 1991he wrote: ‘Today it is usually stated that the philosophy and an attitude convenient for democratic forms of politics are agnosticism and skeptical relativism, whereas those who feel convinced that they know the truth, and are definitely following it, are not, from the democratic point of view... »
WE DO NOT MEAN THIS KIND OF EUROPE
Fr. IRENEUSZ SKUBIŚ
This confession of faith which is pronounced by the holy Roman-Catholic Church today, millions of believers express it with the mouth of the Holy Father Benedict XVI and with him. We believe in God. This faith joins us. It is also an expression of our prayer and a reference to God.

Fr. STANISŁAW RABIEJ
