The World : Polish Priest Hits Marxism

A Warsaw priest delivered a fierce attack on communism in a sermon at the church of Father Jerzy Popieluszko, a supporter of the outlawed Solidarity union who was murdered last year by security police. Drawing thunderous applause from thousands who filled St. Stanislaw Kostka Church and nearby streets, Father Teofil Bogucki declared that “Europe is not recalling the 40th anniversary this year of the downfall of criminal fascism to find itself enslaved by godless communism. Poland is defending itself against the invasion of atheism and communism from the East, as well as indifference and laicism from the West.”
