Peter from Poland

January 23, 2025, 12:50:59 AM
Hello, I'm Peter from Poland. I've been attending masses at the SSPX since 2010. I like reading the Eleison Comments by Bishop Richard Williamson.

Welcome. I'm of partial Polish descent although culturally I'm about as Western as it gets.

Welcome to the forum, Peter!
Glad to have you here, tell us about the religious situation in Poland and how is the SSPX  and other traditionalist groups doing there?

"My brothers, all of you, if you are condemned to see the triumph of evil, never applaud it. Never say to evil: you are good; to decadence: you are progess; to death: you are life. Sanctify yourselves in the times wherein God has placed you; bewail the evils and the disorders which God tolerates; oppose them with the energy of your works and your efforts, your life uncontaminated by error, free from being led astray, in such a way that having lived here below, united with the Spirit of the Lord, you will be admitted to be made but one with Him forever and ever: But he who is joined to the Lord is one in spirit." Cardinal Pie of Potiers

Pfft; an all around good lifter and decent strongman but nowhere near the legends like Hall, Bjornsson, Stoltman, Shaw, Novikov...

Marius has more 1st and 2nd place finishes than those others combined. I'm just trying to relate our our new Beau Cephas, not debate the iron game.

Poland is a predominantly Catholic country (about 71% of the population), but only 29% of the Catholics go regularly to Church and most of them have very liberal views, accepting divorces, abortion, etc. The traditionalist groups are growing rapidly, but because of very high prices of real estate they usually have to rent rooms/buildings and adapt them for chapels.
