WARSAW, Poland — Lawmakers have drawn up a resolution naming Jesus Christ as the honorary king of Poland, but have failed to win support from the
country's powerful Roman Catholic church.
Lawmakers for the ruling Law and Justice party and League of Polish Families as well as the opposition Peasants Party back the resolution, said Szymon
Ruman, spokesman for parliamentary speaker Marek Jurek.
However, the proposal currently has the support of only 46 members in the 460-seat parliament, well short of the necessary 231 votes to pass. Ruman
said the resolution would likely be voted on sometime after Jan. 1.
Backing from the church in this strongly Catholic country would be crucial for building support for the proposal, but on Wednesday several bishops
criticized it, and said parliament should stay out of religious affairs.
While the world debates many critical issues, and many prepare for Christmas, and the holidays. Poland wants to name the King of Kings her own.
Some Polish leaders believe the push to name Jesus Christ Honorary King of Poland is nothing more than well intentioned propaganda.
Happy Holidays!
