society at a particular level, rather that age usually develop in an orderly manner realizes its spiritual needs. In Europe, most often, it happens through the participation of members of religious organizations. More or less formally. Apart from the role that these organizations have in shaping society, there are also solid devisor, according to which nations are sorted. Of course, this is the wrong method. Many of the inconsistencies, exceptions. This However, it is used to define the jurisdiction of another nation. Hence: Catholic Pole, a Russian - Orthodox, etc.. In fact, it may seem that it is harmless assignment. But it is worth to look at the consequences in the areas that are inhabited by several nationalities. In Upper Silesia, where they lived and live side by side the three main nationalities, religious criterion usually applied is: Pole - Catholic, Germany (general) - Protestant, Sile - ... Exactly. Rather, a Catholic, but there was no shortage of other faiths also. Division Religious useful in the denial of national identity. Next: Assume that you mainly Silesians profess Catholicism - here it is only a step to recognize them as Poles, as they are Catholics. Option Polish Silesia in the church was far more clout. By way of distinction Pole - Germany. Poles zawłaszczyli the Catholic church for himself and made it a condition to the next wynarodowieniu Silesians. Religious Affairs were tethered yoke of a national struggle.
critical moment came the moment of election of Cardinal Karol Wojtyla, Bishop of Rome. Great-power ambitions of religious Poles then revealed with redoubled force. Began manifesting their religion, but in a peculiar combination, the fusion of Polish patriotism. John Paul II for many Polish Catholics was not one of the cardinals of the Catholic Church - he was a representative, the representative of Poland and Polish people. Many did not had noticed in him the highest ecclesiastical authority, but a lobbyist for the Polish space (even as the state) in the world. Meanwhile, the authority of church and state does not go hand in hand. Just look at the legislation, that in areas outlook misses the various recommendations of the church. Quite often the two spheres of social life - public and religious beliefs are in opposition to each other. They are, however, despite all links separate spheres of loyalty. "God, the divine emperor - what belongs to Caesar" - the biblical principle is realized every day. Its relevance in modern times has become a binding custom. Worse yet, when the religious loyalty attaches to the nation. Then I can not be cut off from one another. In a clever way, is clarified Silesians, that if they are Catholics and are happy to listen to John Paul II, it is also Polish. It connects them with the traditional Polish religiosity, even told that, after all "forever" ostensibly to pray in Polish.
First, a long time in the churches of the Latin force, secondly, the prayer "learned" is a ritual. Repeats some words in order, respecting the intonation, the word counts. These prayers are formalized and is a specific "language" that is pleasing to God. God wants to hear it, but rather a desire to say it is faithful to God. Of course, in this case, the language does not have the slightest importance, although it must be remembered that such prayers were spoken in the homes of many Silesian also in German, even next to the Polish.
Second - prayer is also a personal relationship with God - if true submit their requests, thanks, or carries away their worries in life. Rather, it is difficult to imagine that in the Silesian families in which the use of Silesia, in conversation with God is passed on to the official, the Polish state language.
Master of hypocrisy in combining Catholicism with Polonisation known ecikowiec - Marek Szoltysek. First, this author came up with the author's "The Bible Ślązoka" in which the indiscriminate way that offends the sensitive religious feelings. The devil take - it's his business, however the frames for the alleged manifestations of Silesia, what SA says - Nein, Mein Herr! According Szołtyska Silesia "Paniynka Mary" is "frelka." More is not reproduced, let it suffice for this poor level of provocation.
Szoltysek reacts hysterically to the current discussion on the census and declaration of Silesian nationality. Sticking to the topic, we quote, in which the convoluted ways in a column for "Polish" tries to marry Szoltysek Silesia cathode Polonism:
"Well, in the discussion emotions Rysiek-separatist colleague asked aloud: What I gave Poland? What gave Silesia Poland? And of course, so briefly and emotionally difficult to question rounds. But then a colleague Jacek-Polish teacher responded brilliantly and honestly. What we gave Poland? - He said. And even the Pope! Is it enough? "
course, at the end of this imaginary "discussion" all even "separatists" agree that the pope is a great gift for the Polish Silesia. Really difficult to find a worse example of bad propaganda. John Paul II is here delegated by the Poles, is a representative with a white eagle to bring national pride, proclaim the glory of the great Polish inhabited by different "strains" of the Poles. Silesians can enjoy that warm in the light of the glory of them was given. Even a humble bow to the separatists. We in the Silesian Adler, we believe that the Cardinal did not delegates Poland, but got his hat on the supranational organization of the church, he earned his living in the honors and leadership in the church. Poland does not have anything in common with. The Pope is a "given" every Catholic around the globe, which effectively confirmed, moreover, John Paul II by his numerous pilgrimages. The pope was not only owned the Poles, each Ślązak if he was a Catholic and has the right to inheritance, Bl. John Paul II in the same way as a Pole!
A Szoltysek, he can play the religious sentiments - may find hearing at the Tusk, Duck or another persona. Why not create him as Coordinator for the old Prussian polonization district.
