The monument dedicated to Pope John Paul II in Lodz in central Poland was desecrated last night on the anniversary of his death. The local media made it known, specifying that the monument, which is located in front of the cathedral, was partly smeared with red and yellow paint, while on the pedestal “Maxima Culpa” is written in white, the title of the book recently published by a Dutch correspondent in Poland, Ekke Overbeek, according to which Karol Wojtyla as cardinal of Krakow would have covered up the priests of his diocese guilty of sexual abuse of minors.
The party of Jaroslaw Kaczynski recently railed against the book, who today, to coincide with the 18th anniversary of the death of Pope John Paul II, accompanied by premier Mateusz Morawiecki, will visit Wadowice, Wojtyla’s birthplace. In view of the general elections next autumn, the “national marches in defense of the Pope” were organized today in various cities of Poland. In Warsaw, about 40,000 people took part, with flags from the Vatican and Poland.
