How many of you know about the Lisbon Treaty? I am sure Mr. Fay had no idea he was about to be dragged into the discussion. Kaczynski has threatened Tusk with impeachment over ratification of the Treaty. www.nytimes.com/2008/03/20/nyregion/20gay.htmlPolitical Fight in Poland Hits Home for Gay Pair By SEWELL CHAN Published: March 20, 2008 Brendan Fay, a well-known gay activist in New York, has found himself, however improbably, a symbol in a political struggle in Poland over equal rights for gay men and lesbians that could affect the nation’s integration into the European Union and the balance of political power in Warsaw. |

Holly,
I know about the Lisbon Treaty. Kaczynski's efforts to rescind the ratification are an attempt to retake the the Polish government. He is pandering to right wing zealots in Catholicism to regain power. If this is the best argument he has for interfering in progression of Poland in the EU he is another Jerry Falwell, big mouth, no substance. Let's hope and pray that Poles don't buy his brand of political chicanery. Let Tusk and his party proceed.

It appears this " elfish looking " nut job is at it again. Many Republicans in the states try the same thing, with good results. Its called the " Politics of Fear ". In Mr. Nutjobs case he's pandering to the Polish electorate that homosexuals, if unleashed, will tear at the fabric of Polish society. I have to wonder. Is this also the Church's position? Does Lech speak for the Church? They have supported him in the past. If this is the case, i believe the Church is squandering its position in modern Polish society.

We have had several rather vigorous discussions about Radio Maria and Fr. Rydzyk.
Can't wait for you to wade in with your perspective.
