Globalism, Lockdowns Contribute to Polish Mass Attendance Decline

Long considered the jewel in the crown of the Catholic Church in Western Europe, Ireland finally succumbed to becoming just another Globalist monoculture in 2011 with the implementation of the bank bailout and deCatholicising undertaken by Enda Kenny’s regime.

The Vatican Embassy was shut, the church was blamed for the poverty created by the British Empire in the previous century and Catholicism was even blamed for the government’s poorly run health system.

By the time that the anti life referendum of 2018 rolled around, the involvement of everyone from George Soros to the EU to the Democratic Party in the deCatholicising of Ireland was obvious.

Once they had finished with Ireland, the forces of Globalism turned their attention towards Poland.

Soros bought radio stations and newspapers in order to pump in large quantities of monies aimed at weakening the Catholic culture of Poland.

Once lockdown had commenced, this network of NGOs, journalists and politicians was weaponised against the faith.

Directionless young Poles, absent minded and brainwashed into American culture, attacked statues of Jesus Christ and Pope John Paul II.

Soros’s long term strategy in Poland has been shrewd. One of the biggest media supporters of the astro turf events in Poland is the daily newspaper Gazeta Wyborcza. In 2016, Soros’s Media Development Fund purchased shares in the Agora, the publisher of Gazeta Wyborcza. Gazeta Wyborcza’s homepage is full of praise for the abortion protests today and has been for the past week. Not leaving it just to print media, Soros has also targeted the radio sector. In 2019, he completed a takeover of the second biggest Polish radio station Radio Zet. He did this by allowing Agora to buy 40% of the station while his SFS VENTURES group purchased the other 60%. More recently, in 2019, Soros invested heavily in the ultra left campaigning group the Batory Foundation in order to influence Polish elections.

The European Union, for their part have strongly had Soros’s back on trying to undermine Polish media for his own needs. After a law was passed in 2015 to ensure anti Polish journalists loyal to external forces would not be allowed to work for state media, preferring that they should instead "preserve national traditions, patriotic and Christian values and strengthen the national community’’, the European Union responded angrily. European Digital Economy Commissioner Günther Oettinger publicly condemned the law in order to bring pressure upon the Poles, even threatening sanctions upon the Polish people.

Media pressure in Poland reveals many of the similarities with Ireland’s situation. 3/4 of Polish media outlets are actually GERMAN owned. This is a similar situation to that of Ireland, where a vast number of media outlets are either British owned masquerading as Irish or else people get their news directly from British press such as Sky News, The Daily Mail or BBC. Out of 19 daily newspapers in Germany, 9 are foreign and 10 are Polish. As has happened in Ireland, Poland is now experiencing a very dizzying foreign based corruption of its youth, with the youth too Americanised and too accustomed to Globalism to be able to detect the intentional alienation from their own culture and history that they are being subjected to.

Now, new reports indicate that Mass attendance dramatically fell during the Covid-19 Lockdown Crisis, when churches across Poland were being invaded by American inspired activists.

In 2019, 36% attended Mass across the country.

By 2021, this had collapsed to 28.3%.

This has been steadily falling since the early 90s when it was close to 50%, it became more pronounced following the death of Pope John Paul II and the emigration crisis brought on by EU membership.

Most interestingly, the numbers receiving Communion fell from 16% to 12% in the same period, having risen significantly from a low of 8% during Communist rule.

The Catholic Church Statistics, who collected the information, were quoted as saying:

‘‘In previous years, the declines in the mass attendance index were constant. This time we’re dealing with a collapse. Therefore, I believe that next year we will have a rebound, the statistics will show an increase.”

Let us hope so.

The Catholic Church in Poland is on the identical trajectory of the one in Ireland, only two decades behind.
However, Poland has many things to its advantage that Ireland did not.

Poland has a vibrant and diversified Catholic media infrastructure, it has a beautiful Novus Ordo liturgy that is celebrated reverently and it is not (yet) an Anglophone country.
