Polonius3: The Sejm crucifix dispute aside, Poland's leftist-liberal and anarcho-libertine cricles are constantly going on about the Chruch interfering in politics. If a priest tells worshippers who to vote for, either by name, party or even a broad hint ('A Catholic cannot in good conscience vote for anyone who favours killing the unborn' - par example) the whole motely crew of lefties are up in arms adn foaming at the mouth. What is a shopkeeper tells a customer which party deserves support. Or a unviersity professor in a lecture hall does, or Joe the plumber, etc., etc.? Despite all the rumpus and hubbub, neither the Constuituion nor the penal code expressly ban any citizen expressing their poltiical views or preferences. And that's all a priest is doing, be it from the pulpit, at the rectory or on the street. Of course, the lefties are laso free ot harp but it is a lie if they suggest clergy expressing poltical views violate the constitution. The Church itself bans clergy standing for public office, but the law of the land does not forbid it. Afro-Pole MP Godson, a Protestant clergyman, is a case in point.
Polonius, you answer your own question...Some are anti-Church, anti-Christ...What you expect from such quarters?
