"If we go further on this road ... the European Union, Europe, the continent of freedom, democracy (and) human rights will disappear.

Potrivit presei poloneze, în cazul episcopului Dziwisz a fost deschisă şi o anchetă în cadrul căreia au fost deja interogaţi preoţi, transmite Agerpres. Săptămâna trecută, episcopul Glodz a fost ales primar în Piaski (nord-estul ţării). Lunea viitoare, Biserica Catolică poloneză urmează să publice date statistice privind agresiuni sexuale asupra minorilor în rândul credincioşilor. Toţi episcopii polonezi au fost convocaţi la Vatican în toamna anului viitor pentru o vizită care, potrivit presei poloneze, s-ar putea concentra tocmai pe cazurile de muşamalizare a agresiunilor sexuale.
