Polish MPs want to coronate Jesus as King of Poland.

Polish MPs bid to make Jesus king

The MPs cited historical and theological reasons for the move
A group of Polish members of parliament have submitted a bill seeking to proclaim Jesus Christ king of their overwhelmingly Catholic country.

Forty-six deputies - 10% of the lower house - signed the bill, which was tabled earlier this week, reports say.

Some Polish clerics however have criticised the move as unnecessary.

If the bill becomes law, Jesus will follow the path of the Virgin Mary, who was declared honorary queen of Poland by King John Casimir 350 years ago.

The motion has been backed by MPs from the far right League of Polish families (LPR), the conservative Law and Justice (PiS) party and the Peasants' Party (PSL).

They argued Jesus should be made king on both theological and historical grounds.

PiS deputy Artur Gorski said colleagues were "praying in the parliamentary chapel for <Jesus'> coronation", Reuters news agency reported.

But Monsignor Tadeusz Pieronek, a member of Poland's episcopate and rector at Krakow's Papal Academy of Theology, dismissed the move.

2. LPR, the sponsoring party, is fascist.
I mean really fascist, in the clinical sense. They're like Pat Robertson and Jerry Falwell taken several steps further. Skinheads associated with them physically assault their opponents. If you ask me, they should have cleaned the country up a lot more after world war two when they had the chance.
