The Polish Catholic broadcaster Radio Maryja openly agitates against Jews and strongly supports the Kaczynski brothers, Poland's ruling populist leaders. The German Pope wants to rein in the station, but the founding priest isn't likely to toe the Vatican line willingly.
A solid steel fence protects Radio Maryja's headquarters from the outside world. The public has no access to this high-tech fortification in the suburbs of Torun. Father Tadeusz Rydzyk, founder of the nationalist Catholic radio station, lives in the pretentious main building with satellite dishes and relay towers rising in the background.
Father Rydzyk sees no contradiction between wearing a collar and spreading his politics via satellite. He believes in using modern technology to spread his call for the salvation of God-fearing Poland to hundreds of thousands of homes. But other people do see a contradiction -- namely the German-born pope, Benedict XVI. He wants Rydzyk to quit his rabble-rousing, but the stubborn priest won't be easy to silence.
A typical day at Radio Maryja starts with prayers, hymns, and cooking tips. The controversial stuff doesn't start until later. A show called "Unfinished Conversations" airs at 9:40 p.m. and deals with topics like "The Battle for a Woman's Worth: Stopping Pornography." Listeners get to call in. Rydzyk rarely sits at the microphone himself, but he sometimes adds his input via by telephone towards the end of the show. For example, he once called the European Union a conspiracy of Freemasons, who want to force Catholic Poland to accept gay marriage. One Radio Maryja commentary in March suggested that Jews were sabotaging the struggle for democracy in Eastern European democracy in Ukraine and Belarus -- while Poles battled on the frontlines. Radio Maryja also warned that the "Holocaust Industry" wields influence worldwide and expects "kickbacks" from Warsaw.
