The symbol is gone

There are people with lives we believe will last forever. This illusion we're subject to may have 2 sides. First of all, these people are especially close to us emotionally. The second group is people whose way of life, their commitment to the common good, the scale of the good that becomes their participation and the production that makes it hard for us to imagine the functioning of the areas they worked without their participation in them.

This was the life of Fr Tadeusz Isakowicz-Zaleski. He was a priest who surely deserved to be distinguished with higher dignitys but people like him in all social or professional group are seldom appreciated. Their attitude of life, their choices, and the values that guide them, of course, is affected. A priest left who was a multidimensional symbol not only of what the priesthood should look like but besides of humanity, social and civic engagement.

He was a bit like this Sienkiewicz small Knight standing on the east rung and to the end faithful to his beliefs.

He was not short of worries recently, the fight against cancer was intertwined with struggles both within the church hierarchy itself, the fight on the Ukrainian section caused attacks on both the highest people in the country and the media and Ukrainian environments in Poland. For all of this, the Azerbaijani drove the Armenians out of Arcach a fewer months ago threatening to face them further.

It is unfortunate that a man of this format, alternatively of enjoying the universal estim of both church and state authorities, was a very uncomfortable problem for them due to the fact that not due to his social authority could not afford to permanently remove him from public space. Let our memory of his works for Poles and Armenians, for the memory of murdered Poles as the Church itself, never expires. May he become an inspiration, may he make it clear that we may have to...
