The Ulm household beatification took place last Sunday. It was unique for 2 reasons: for the first time the full household was raised to the glory of the altars and for the first time the unborn kid was beatified. Many people emphasized this in their speeches.
The words of the papal envoy of the cardinals deserve peculiar attention. Marcello Semeraro during the beatification Mass:
“In the martyrdom of the fresh Blessed, the peculiarly suggestive function is played by the tiny kid Victoria carried in her womb, coming into the planet in the painful moments of her mother’s slaughter. Though it has not yet had a name, present we call it Blessed. This beatification has a more up-to-date message than ever: although never said a word, present this small innocent child, who, together with angels and saints in Paradise, sings praise to God in the Trinity alone, here on earth calls to the modern planet to receive, love and defend life from conception to natural death, especially the life of the defenseless and marginalized. This innocent voice wants to shake the conscience of a society in which abortion, euthanasia and contempt for life, seen as a burden alternatively than a gift, are spread.”
The accuracy of these words peculiarly strikes erstwhile they are combined with a view of the people who sat in the front row under the altar erstwhile they were preached. There was besides Jarosław Kaczyński who rejected the task at first reading “Abortion is simply a homicide”, neither president Andrzej Duda, proposing a fresh law after the 2020 TK judgment, aimed at killing unborn children with found Letal flaws, nor Minister Catherine Sójka, under which the kid execution squad operates quietly. We've written about this band respective times, it's a very dangerous tool, and it could origin innocent children's blood to spill.
That's the level of hypocrisy it's affecting. Sit in the front row during beatification of the unborn kid – this can be done, it is well seen, it will be sold perfectly before the election. Take real action to defend the lives of all Polish citizens – it is better not to do this, it is unpleasant, individual can criticize, individual can attack, real actions are always a risk. A candle to God and a devil's eye.
We hope that the voters who submitted the task in 2017 "Stop Abortion’, And then in 2022, "Abortion is simply a homicide" will be billing politicians at the urns of their actions.
