Catholic Church already is forcing women in Poland to risk their lives by bringing to full term dead and deformed fetuses, and now they also want to force people to stay in bad marriage
Quote:A massive billboard campaign across Poland has sparked fears that legislation to limit access to divorce could soon come before parliament
Banning divorce might seem like an outlandish idea for a country in the 21st century that is situated in the heart of Europe. But after five years under the right-wing populist government of Law and Justice (PiS), during which moves have been made to withdraw from the Istanbul Convention to combat domestic violence, to create LGBT-free zones and to target women’s groups who disagree with it, most Poles know better.
Apart from the main slogan, there is only one other bit of information on the billboards: the listing of a website of Sychar, a Catholic organisation focused on venerating and preserving religious marriage.
“The aim of our community is to save sacramental marriages which are in crisis, at every stage of this crisis, even after divorce,” Andrzej Szczepaniak, leader of Sychar, tells BIRN. “In the Catholic Church, sacramental marriage is sacred and indissoluble.”
Essentially, the group does not recognise the fact that civil divorces trump religious marriages. “Our goal is to find ourselves, after death, in Heaven with our spouses,” Szczepaniak says.
“We strongly oppose the divorce mentality, filing for divorce, consenting to divorce and assisting with it, because no one can propose or accept the breaking of marriage vows entered into before God and man,” he says. “When love is sick, we are not killing it, we are healing it. In extreme situations, like violence or addiction, the Catholic Church allows for the possibility to ask the court for civil separation – long-distance love – but not divorce.”

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
