There may be 29,000 priests in Poland, pawian, but there was only ONE Jesus. Remember that!

Well, one true Jesus, lol ;)

But today`s priests are Jesus` disciples, like original apostles. That means something, doesn`t it?

I'm glad I wasn't eating a bacon sandwich when I read that, pawian. That's all I can say.

I was asked to contribute to a Christian fund today, aka, financing the priest's Alfa Romeo insurance renewal. No thanks. You believe in your priests and let others believe in Jesus.

=Seanus]financing the priest's Alfa Romeo insurance renewal.

Is it libel or slander, I never know. Can you help? :):):)

Neither, it's the truth :) Oszczerstwo (libel) is writing blasphemous things.

Did you know that the German minority in Poland amounts to about 150.000?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/German_minority_in_Poland

They always receive one seat in each newly elected parliament, despite their results.

There are 325 Polish schools that use the German language as the first language of instruction, with over 37,000 students attending them. Most members of the German minority are Roman Catholic and only some of them are Protestants (the Evangelical-Augsburg Church). A number of German language newspapers and magazines are issued in Poland.
With the downfall of the Communist regime, the German minorities' political situation improved. Germans are now allowed to acquire land and property in the areas where they, or their ancestors, used to live, and to move there.

29,000 priests? Wouldn't that mean that there's one priest for every single Šl±skiego?


pawian:

Not really, he appointed the apostles.

As I ask my Polish Catholic Mrs, when was the last time her priest told his flock to read the bible? And my old Gran was a nun at one point, so I'm not anti catholic, but educating the masses about what is said in the bible isn't seen to be important (quite the opposite I'd say).

Hey, I live not to far from Cisek and never noticed that sign panel when I've been there! Not really equality though, is it? The 'reds' get an Eagle and the 'blues' only get a "52" and it isn't even on their side. Shame there isn't a sign for the hospital in Kozle, as Krankenhaus is my favourite German word. Apart from Krankenwagen... and maybe Krankenschwester.

The number of altar girls is growing. They are more dutiful and ambitious than boys.

I suppose he perfectly realises such an event will happen sooner or later. It is only the matter of time.

A few years ago. Now there are 1000.
Altar boys reached 300.000.

But slowly, slowly....... girls will take over. Just like with everything. :):):):)

Really? :):):) When I look around, I have an impression that (in)famous Polish moustache is disappearing. I know why. Since I shaved clean under the nose a few years ago, other males have followed my example.

Nope. He is Heinz from Austria. He vowed to follow the tradition of the last Austrian Emperor, Franz Jozef.

On December 13, the Mint of Poland together with the National Bank of Poland launched their 2012 coin issues program with a bash. They organized a celebration for the first strikes of coins commemorating the “Great Orchestra of Christmas” charity, an organization which raises money for underprivileged children nationwide. The year 2012 is also the 20th anniversary of the charity, which is inscribed on the coins.

Obverse: A tree with with guitar shaped trunk and heart shaped leaves.
Reverse: A piano keyboard cascading up and down the left side of the coin along with the Poland's Eagle and the coin’s face value of 10 Zlotych.
