Protestors burned EU flags
Tens of thousands of Christians in Poland took to the streets to fight
Islam and leftism, crying out “Stop Islamisation” and the most beautiful
words of “God, honour, homeland”, which reminds me so much of St.
Peter’s words, “Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honor the king.” (1
Peter 2:17). Here are some photos of this event:
According to one report:
Tens of thousands of protesters poured into Warsaw’s streets on Wednesday for a demonstration organised by the far-right, marching under the slogan “Poland for the Polish” and burning an EU flag.
Police said 25,000 people joined the march, which marked the anniversary of Poland’s return to independence after World War I, while organisers put the numbers at 50,000.
“God, honour, homeland,” chanted the protesters as they marched under a sea of red-and-white Polish flags.
Demonstrators trampled and burned a European Union flag at one point, while a banner added to the anti-EU theme with the slogan “EU macht frei” (“Work makes you free” in German), a reference to the slogan over the gates at Auschwitz.
“Yesterday it was Moscow, today it’s Brussels which takes away our freedom,” chanted one group of protesters.
Other banners read “Great Catholic Poland” and “Stop Islamisation”.
Several thousand riot police officers were deployed for the protest, which was punctuated by numerous firecrackers and smoke bombs but otherwise went off peacefully.
The annual march, organised by Poland’s nationalist right, has seen clashes in previous years
“I came here because I love Poland and want to show it,” said 27-year-old Piotr, who came with his fiancee. “I came here for my grandfather, who fought in the Warsaw Uprising (against the Nazi occupation of the Polish capital), and for his father, who fought for independence.”
Poland is truly one of the last nations that has stood their ground for the cause of God and Church, against leftism, sodomite tyranny and heresy, cults and other destructive ideologies. I am not here to discuss the tensions between Catholics and Orthodox, but what I will affirm is that they must unite. When the Muslims wanted to conquer Belgrade, in Serbia in 1456, both Catholics and Orthodox stood side by side against the enemy. They put aside their conflicts, and fought for God, brotherhood and the empire of Christendom.
The Pope, Calixtus III, sent cardinals to
France, Germany, and Poland to preach the crusade against the Ottomans.
Alfonso V of Aragon and Naples joined the cause and agreed to supply
fifteen galleys for the crusading fleet. Afonso V of Portugal vowed to
give twelve thousand men; and St. John Capistrano, a Franciscan preacher
filled with fervor, raised many a man in Hungary and Transylvania to
enter the crusade. He pulled men into the righteous cause with his words
filled with zeal; men more concerned about image rather than our
eternal war with evil discouraged him from preaching. But one day,
during the Mass, he saw, in a vision, an arrow with the words, “Fear
not, John. Go down quickly. In the power of my name and of the Holy
Cross thou wilt conquer the Turks.”
And so he continued his mission. The
Germans, on the other hand, did nothing to assist the cause of the
Cross, and its bishops grumbled most impiously because of the crusading
tax. The crusaders marched on to Belgrade, for if Belgrade fell the
whole of southeastern Europe would be open to the Turks. Capistrano
brought eight thousand men, while Hunyadi led about sixteen thousand.
Such numbers were inferior to the eighty thousand jihadists Mehmet had
under his grasp. Pope Calixtus III called on all archbishops, abbots and
priests to pray, fast and give penance for deliverance from the Turks.
The warriors arrived in Belgrade,
Capistrano said Mass, and commanded the other priests present to not
participate in the fighting, but to tend the wounded. Shells struck the
walls of the city, and such a terrifying bombardment continued on for
two weeks. But still the saints remained steadfast. It came to their
knowledge that the Turks were planning on cutting off the city from all
outside support, but to such a worry Capistrano left the city with a
promise that he would return with another army. On his arrival he
brought with him a rustic bunch; the Ottomans were already there, and
their numbers caused so much fear that Hunyandi, looking upon the lowly
army of Capistrano, even proposed retreating. Capistrano would not allow
it, and he sharply told Hunyandi that they would never leave, but would
go down fighting.
The Crusaders under Hunyandi advanced
with two hundred boats, and as they fought a naval battle, Capistrano
stood on the shore holding up high a crucifix which the pope had given
him, declaring “Jesus, Jesus, Jesus!” The Christian prevailed on the
waters, and the fighting continued in Belgrade itself. The Turks beat
the walls with their canons , and at that time all seemed hopeless.
Hunyandi again suggested retreat, and again Capistrano turned it down.
The Turks penetrated the walls at certain parts of the city and were in
the midst of the Christians. Turk and Christian fought hand to hand in
the streets as Hunyandi directed them, and Capistrano held high the Holy
Cross. As the crucifix remained ascended, the Christians advanced. On
Every street and in almost every building fighting took place.
Turkish artillery was now of little help; the gunners
could not see the enemy. It was at this moment that the preying horned
owls were blinded, and the strong falcons prevailed. By the next morning
the Turks began their retreat from the streets which were now engulfed
in blood. The Christians followed through and relentlessly pursued them
to finish them off. Hunyandi was able to seize some of the Turks’ guns
and use them on his enemy, and an arrow struck the body of Mehmet, the
wound compelling the sound for the retreat. And as all of this took
place, there stood the saintly fighter, Capistrano, with arms stretched
above his head toward Heaven, and his hands gripped on the crucifix.
(Carroll, A History of Christendom, vol. iii, ch. xiii, pp. 571-572;
Moczar, Islam at the Gates, ch. iii, pp. 76-9) By this we are so
reminded of that holy day in which the Hebrew saints defeated the
heathen Amelekites as Moses stood holding his staff up to the air:
“And it came to pass, when Moses held up his hand, that Israel prevailed: and when he let down his hand, Amalek prevailed. But Moses’ hands were heavy; and they took a stone, and put it under him, and he sat thereon; and Aaron and Hur stayed up his hands, the one on the one side, and the other on the other side; and his hands were steady until the going down of the sun. And Joshua discomfited Amalek, and his people with the edge of the sword.” (Exodus 17:11-13)
The Holy Spirit never ceased to work
through His saints, from Israel onwards, it continued, from Moses to
Capistrano, from Hunyandi to Joshua. The warpath of the infidel Turk had
been hindered by this great victory, which moved Pope Calixtus III so
much that he called it, “the happiest event of my life.” They massacred
fifty-thousand Turks in that battle. Calixtus III would also appoint an
ex-Muslim from Albania who converted to Christianity, named
Skanderberg, as “Captain-General for the Turkish war,” and he would lead
successful attacks on the Turks until his death in 1468. (Carroll, A
History of Christendom, vol. iii, ch. xiii, pp. 372-373) Now was the
time to set the final blow upon the Turk, if only Christendom arose at
that moment the crescent would have been driven fully out of Europe.
(Moczar, Islam at the Gates, ch. iii, p. 81)
I believe the Russian theologian Vladimir Sergeyevich was
correct when writing that Catholic Poland is a brother to Orthodox
Russia:
“The Russian people has a brother who has certain profound grievances against it, and it behooves us to make peace with this people which is both a brother and an enemy, in order to begin the sacrifice of our national egoism upon the altar of the Universal Church.” (The Russian Idea, ch. 8, p. 34)
The Orthodox and the Polish Catholics have so much in
common. For one, they are both very zealous for their Faith, and they
are both fighting against the enemies of Christianity, especially the
sodomite agenda. Here is one video taken in Poland of Christians
fighting against these mutants:
There are so many forces gathering around against the last
few nations where Christianity is strong prosperous; but in these
nations of fortified spirit, there are always multitudes of warriors
willing to fight and die with zeal and selfless will. In Russia, the
Orthodox will fight to the death for their Faith; in Poland the
Catholics will assail the forces of Antichrist; in America there are
still many Christians willing to fight and die for Christ; in Mexico
thousands of men are fighting and dying against the pagan cartels who
are slaughtering Catholics. The war continues, it never ends. It did not
end at Calgary, it began at Calgary. For the Apostles, carrying their
cross, continued on the war of the Cross, fighting the demons. And now,
the fray still goes on.
Let the Orthodox and the Catholics unite against the
assailing ocean of darkness that is charging against them. Let them cry
out, “God, Brotherhood, Christendom!” as they combat the forces of evil
whose father was that angel thrown from Heaven. Christ will return, and
with His army of saints — consisting of all those who do the will of God
— crush the foes of Heaven.
