Poland: Tradition under Siege

In the Catholic West there appears to be only one stronghold left for our enemies to conquer. The other great bastions of the faith have all fallen: France, Malta, Ireland, Italy and Austria. Poland alone remains free but as we speak it is besieged by the enemies of Catholicism and Tradition.

Unlike the majority of Catholics, whose homelands have fell to the Liberal-Modernists and are now underground resistance fighters, the Polish people live in a country whose religious and temporal leaders support Tradition and the Faith. The Liberals have not forgotten Poland though and are doing everything they can to destroy her.

What we see today calls to mind the Siege of Vienna when the Ottomans besieged the temporal capital of Christendom. That time in history saw the Ottomans defeated by the Polish army and the Catholic world saved. Today it is Poland that is under siege and there seems to be no one that can save her.

The reason that Poland has withstood this modernist invasion must be credited to Communism. The Polish people understand that their identity as Poles is distinctly Catholic. They know this because the Communists attacked that aspect of Polish culture the most. Now that Poland is free the people are rightfully distrustful of everything that hates their faith.

Currently in Poland there is a very Traditional mindset. Religion is still very important to Poles, they have very strong opinions on the importance of family, they have very traditional views on morality and have a healthy nationalistic mentality.

The People of Poland also seem to recognize the danger of Muslim refugees and have expressed this on many occasions including a soccer game in 2015 where fans held a giant flag of a crusader knight blocking three ships filled with Muslims from entering (interestingly the banner also contained anti U.S. sentiment by having the boats named U.S.S ISIS, U.S.S. Bin Laden and U.S.S Husein) underneath the banner was written "Lets rise up to defend Christianity".  According to a Pew Research Center survey done in 2014: 50% of Poles that responded had an unfavorable view of Muslims compared to 32% whose views were favorable. 

Though Poland's Traditionalist mentality is still strong it is experiencing some losses. One major loss was the government caving to pro-abortion activists protesting the complete ban of abortion bill that passed in Poland's Parliament. The Polish youth also seem to be tending to have more liberal views and a wanting not to seem backward to the rest of the European Union.

Though Poland has suffered some losses She has also had some great victories with the Catholic Bishops declaring Christ to be the King of Poland (with the Prime Ministers approval) and their refusal to take immigrants into their dioceses.

The current position of Poland seems far from hopeless with the Polish tending to see the madness that the West is advancing but the danger is still real with the world putting more and more pressure for Poland to abandon its Traditions.
