A final comment on Fr Rydzyk, at least until he repents in sackcloth and ashes, accompanied by his religious superiors - or else says something else outrageous.

Damian Thompson, editor-in-chief of the Catholic Herald, once described by the Anglican Church Times as a "blood-crazed ferret", pursues Rydzyk and the Church leaders who refuse to bring this priest under control. As I’ve pointed out before, it is up to Rydzyk's Redemptorist superiors to act. If they refuse, however, to then it should not be beyond the power of the local Polish bishops to do something about it.

One of the creepiest radio stations in the world is named, I’m sorry to say, after the Virgin Mary. Radio Maryja, Poland’s largest Catholic broadcasting agency, is obsessed with Jewish plots.

After sinking his teeth into Church leaders for their weak response to this, he points out:

You can’t help wondering the rosary-clutching anti-Semites of Radio Maryja are missing a rather obvious point. I hate to break it to you, guys, but you’re named after a Jewish housewife.
