Catholics cannot support programs that promote abortion, try to redefine the institution of marriage, try to limit the rights of parents in the area of responsibility for raising their children, or promote demoralization of children and young people.

“If parents decide not to bring up a child, they can always pass the child up for adoption, especially when so many families are ready to care for them. Killing children should never take place.

We have been waiting for this moment for 225 years - Independence Day and the First Holy Mass Celebrated in the Temple of Divine Providence
“We have been waiting for this moment for 225 years,” emphasized the Metropolitan of Warsaw, Cardinal Kazimierz Nycz, at the beginning of the first Mass celebrated in the Temple of Divine Providence in Warsaw’s District of Wilanow. On November 11th, Poland’s Independence Day, this church, under construction by the Poles since the adoption of the Constitution in 1791, was opened to the faithful. The work on this edifice—intended to be an ex-voto—was impeded first by the partition of Poland, then by World War II and the communist government.
