Polish Legislators Propose Jesus As Honorary King; Church Demurs

The Associated Press yesterday reported that 46 members of Poland's 460-seat Parliament are supporting a resolution that would name Jesus Christ as the honorary king of Poland. The resolution has little chance of passing. It is not supported by the Catholic Church. Bloomberg News quotes Bishop Tadeusz Pieronek who said that the proposal "marks an overuse of religion for political goals." Archbishop Slawomir Glodz said "legislators should steer clear of things they have no idea about."
