WATCH: Polish Archbishop Marek Jedraszewski decries LGBT ‘rainbow disease’ that’s spreading across country

August 6, 2019 (LifeSiteNews) – The archbishop of Krakow, Poland, has said that his country is under siege from the “rainbow disease” of LGBT activism.
While his country is no longer beleaguered by the “red plague” of Soviet communism, Archbishop Marek Jedraszewski said, it is now afflicted by the “rainbow” plague of LGBT ideology, which denies human dignity and aims to control the souls, hearts, and minds of the Polish people.
“A red plague is not gripping our land anymore,” the archbishop said, “which does not mean that there is not a new one that wants to control our souls, hearts and minds.”
“Not Marxist, Bolshevik, but born of the same spirit, neo-Marxist,” he said. “Not red, but rainbow.”
The archbishop’s remarks came in his sermon during Mass at St. Mary’s Basilica marking the 75th anniversary of the Warsaw Uprising, CNS News reports.
Jedraszewski recalled in his homily the heroism of Poland’s Home Army against Nazi occupation, and the country’s struggles under fascism and then decades of ‘Bolshevism’ rule as a Soviet satellite state, a report from the Irish Times said.
He said that “promoting LGBTI ideology denies human dignity” because the “rainbow disease” was “neo-Marxist” in its absolutist ambition.
The day before at the Polish Catholic pilgrimage site of Czestochowa, Jedraszewski had urged the Catholic faithful to “defend the truth about the creation of a woman and a man to live together and to have children.”
Jedraszewski’s homily remarks about LGBT ideology drew denunciation from U.S.-based LGBT activist Jesuit Father James Martin, who called the archbishop’s comments incendiary, adding that they promote hatred and violence toward LGBT individuals.
The Catholic Church teaches that homosexual tendencies are “objectively disordered,” and that homosexual acts are “intrinsically disordered,” against natural law and cannot be approved under any circumstances.
People with same-sex attraction are called to chastity, the Church’s teaching says, as are all people.
Same-sex sexual activity has never been criminalized in Poland and its legality was reconfirmed in 1932. Homosexuality does not have special protection in Polish law, and gay “marriage” and the adoption of children by gay couples in Poland remain illegal.
The majority Catholic country is having turmoil and tension between LGBT activists working to advance their agenda and traditional Poles.
Jedraszewski, 70, was appointed auxiliary bishop of Poznań in 1997 by then Pope St. John Paul II, just before Jedraszewski’s episcopal consecration. The two clerics were close friends, CNS reports.
Pope Benedict XVI appointed Jedraszewski the archbishop of Lodz in 2012, and in 2017 Pope Francis named him archbishop of Krakow.
In remarks made in 2013, Jedraszewski said gender ideology is the “direct path to the self-destruction of our civilization.”
“It is an extremely dangerous ideology that leads directly to the death of our civilization,” he said.

POLAND UNDER MASS ATTACK BY ‘RAINBOW DISEASE’ OF LGBT ACTIVISM
New siege: ‘Not red, but rainbow’
WARSAW, Poland (ChurchMilitant.com) – Poland is now under “mass attack” from LGBT activists, according to numerous Polish outlets.
Activists are coming from “every possible place on Earth,” according to Justice4Poland. “They are extremely aggressive, violent and obscene!”
“Equality” marches have been organized every weekend, going from city to city and provoking Polish Christians. The marches appear well-organized — and paid for by George Soros.
Archbishop Marek Jędraszewski of Krakow, Poland, described the onslaught as “a siege from the ‘rainbow disease’ of LGBT activism.”
In a homily marking the 75th anniversary of the Warsaw Uprising, the archbishop compared current LGBT activism to the communist domination of Poland after WWII.
He said once afflicted with the “red plague” of Soviet communism, Poland is now afflicted by the “rainbow” plague of LGBT ideology, which denies human dignity and aims to control the souls, hearts and minds of the Polish people.
“Not Marxist, Bolshevik, but born of the same spirit, neo-Marxist,” the archbishop declared. “Not red, but rainbow.”

Faithful Catholics formed a human wall to protect a children’s Rosary procession in Częstochowa from a “mob” of homosexual activists.
According to Polonia Christiana, the 20th Pilgrimage of the Children’s Backyard Rosary Circles to the Shrine of Jasna Góra took place without incident, thanks to police and hundreds of adults who separated the devotional event from the second LGBT “Pride March.”
One Pole onsite in Poland told Church Militant that although the activists had been unsuccessful in breaching the walls of Częstochowa, “this year for the first time they went through Gniezno, the first historical capital of Poland associated with the baptism of Poland.”
In Warsaw, members of Ordo Iuris are also weighing in on the “mass attack.”
“We have the full right to say that homosexual activities are a sin,” said Dr. Błażej Kmieciak, coordinator of the Bioethics Center of Poland’s Ordo Iuris Institute of Legal Culture, pushing backon LGBT activists who claim the right to censor public opinion and silence Catholic voices.
Dr. Kmieciak told Radio Maria that Christian teaching shows from a moral perspective that man is the “highest good” (“najwyższym dobrem“) and no genuine Catholic clergy would undermine the dignity of the human person.

He pointed to the words of Jesus Christ in the Gospel of John (8–11) when He turned to a sinner, saying: “No one has condemned you and I do not condemn you.” But, Dr. Kmieciak pointed out, Jesus added: “Go and sin no more.”
Just as betrayal of marriage is a sin, so believers have the right to say that homosexual activities are a sin, according to the bioethicist.
Homosexual activities are a part of the disorder of human nature (nieuporządkowania natury człowieka) and as such Catholics have the right to say they are a sin.
Dr. Kmieciak says that LGBT activists employ “a well-known salami technique.” They represent an ideology that takes “more and more aggressive, more and more direct actions” — first, they shock, then they check and test to what extent that new phenomenon can be introduced to the public and then slowly introduce the actions.
This technique can be seen in the demand for adoption by same-sex couples and in attacks carried out on symbols important for Catholics.
For example, one of the most revered symbols for Catholic Poland, the Black Madonna of Częstochowa, has been misappropriated and blasphemed by LGBT protestors with over 30 town councils proclaiming themselves to be “free from LGBT ideology” as a result.
The bioethicist pointed out that “homosexuality” has already been removed from the International Classification of Mental Diseases and Disorders and that, in 2021, “transsexualism” will disappear from this classification.
The Ordo Iuris Institute team of lawyers believe “there is a pressing need for lawyers to become actively involved in the defense of the [Polish] Constitution. For this reason, we have been guided by the idea of the legal order — ordo iuris.”
Justice4Poland says the “West is not aware” of the “mass attack” on Poland and that LGBT activists “are on the mission of destroying — as they say — The Last Bastion Of Christianity!!!”
“The Polish Government hands are tied as the LGBT+ is under the Special Protection from EU, UN, Civil Rights Watch, etc.” explain the editors of the site.
