Poland was recently rocked by a shocking incident at the Oleśnica hospital, where a baby named Felek, at 37 weeks gestation, was tragically killed with a potassium chloride injection to the heart. The baby, diagnosed with osteogenesis imperfecta, was fully developed and could have survived outside the mother’s body. Despite being offered the option of a cesarean section and specialized medical care, the mother, influenced by pro-abortion activists, opted for an abortion performed by gynecologist Gizela Jagielska, a procedure that can only be described as murder.
This gruesome act sparked outrage in Polish society, with many expressing their shock and anger on social media. Among those who spoke out against this heinous crime was Father Grzegorz from the Diocese of Przemyśl, who sent an email to Jagielska’s hospital expressing his dismay. In a shocking turn of events, Father Grzegorz was arrested and taken to Oleśnica for interrogation.
The details of Father Grzegorz’s arrest are disturbing. After a visit to his family, he was confronted by plainclothes men at his home, accused of making criminal threats in his email. Despite defending his actions as speaking the truth about the baby’s death, Father Grzegorz was detained and taken on a traumatic journey to Oleśnica for questioning.
The priest’s ordeal continued with a search of his parish and a night in a detention cell. Despite the stress and humiliation, Father Grzegorz remained steadfast in his beliefs and prayers. Following his release, he faced strict conditions and surveillance by the authorities.
The arrest of Father Grzegorz and others involved in the case sparked widespread outrage, prompting the Metropolitan Curia of Przemyśl to issue a statement condemning the excessive use of force and repression by law enforcement. The Curia emphasized the need for a fair and just legal process and criticized the treatment of the priest as an attack on the Catholic Church.
The events surrounding Father Grzegorz’s arrest and the subsequent media coverage raised concerns about a targeted effort to discredit the Catholic Church. The Curia of Przemyśl expressed deep sorrow over the incident and denounced the actions taken against the priest as unjustified and abusive.
The troubling events in Poland reflect a growing divide between pro-choice advocates and the Catholic Church, with the priest’s arrest seen as a deliberate attempt to undermine the Church’s influence. The impact of these actions extends beyond the individual case, highlighting broader tensions in Polish society.
