A Polish Archbishop

Let's review the current dilemma that Poland faces, in order to compare it to our own. If one were to read the article from the New York Times today, it seems that a young philosophy student in 1967 was recruited by the secret police to spy on Polish Catholics at a Catholic University.

Here is the link:http://www.nytimes.com/2007/01/06/world/europe/06poland.html?em&ex=1168232400&en=f62f8fd3ced788da&ei=5087%0A

Sunday, January 7th, this Archbishop resigned. He had compromised with an anti-catholic regime, and that made him unfit to become a ruler of the Church. There were clear guide-lines during the Soviet Era to protect from this kind of compromise. For example, no person was supposed to go alone into a room with someone from the communist secret service. If someone were alone in a room with the secret service, he should have written to his Ecclesiastical superiors about it immediately.

A principal characteristic of a failed counter revolutionary is the counter revolutionary that attempts to compromise with the revolution in the hopes of saving some of what the revolution is setting out to destroy.

Let's keep that in mind as we deal with our own revolutionary culture in the USA. We have the war-party revolutionaries trying to spread democratic revolution throughout the Middle East. We have the Family Revolutionaries who are using Gay Marriage as one step in the direction of eliminating the family as an institution. We have the Revolutionaries of sexual liberation who are hoping to return our culture to a pre-Greek barbarian culture. Beware those who seek compromise with these revolutions. As we lament the loss of this Archbishop, let's be ware of the ways in which we can compromise with ideologies, harming ourselves and the Church.
