Poland: Internet Transmitter Installed on Jesus’ Statue

One of the world's tallest statues of Jesus Christ in Świebodzin, Poland, has technical equipment inside the crown that is on the statue's head.

An expert told fakt.pl (April 22) that the technical installation is used for commercial broadcasting of an internet signal.

The parish which owns the statue located in the outskirts of the town refused to comment.

The statue was built with donations from local residents.

Catholic society who is ripped of every single penny in XX century is trying to use possible means to earn funds. What's wrong with it?
Ostensibly, as a Christian, you ought to know better. There are acceptable, prudent and moral limits to how one can “earn funds” for any endeavor including those made for the benefit of the Church. What's next? Will Polish nuns be permitted and even encouraged to …More
Catholic society who is ripped of every single penny in XX century is trying to use possible means to earn funds. What's wrong with it?

Ostensibly, as a Christian, you ought to know better. There are acceptable, prudent and moral limits to how one can “earn funds” for any endeavor including those made for the benefit of the Church. What's next? Will Polish nuns be permitted and even encouraged to prostitute their bodies in order to fund a new roof for the Church?

The fact that the parish priest refuses to comment on this scandal should tell you something about the propriety of using a stature of Jesus the Christ for commercial profit. Obviously it does not.

If non-Catholics would have made such a gross error in judgment and committed a similar disrespect toward a statue of Christ, almost universally the Catholics at GTV and elsewhere would have condemned the act in the strongest possible language as it should be condemned by any sentient Christian including the Pols.

As commercial and capitalistic as the United States is, never would such an outrageous act of gross stupidity and disrespect toward a statue of the Savior be tolerated. The priest/Bishop/Cardinal responsible would be pilloried and the diocese responsible would suffer economically and otherwise. However, I suppose I should not be surprised if such an act is readily accepted in Poland.

Just a little reminder that the instant communication is a counterfeit of the Holy Spirit.

The Catholic parish refused to answer questions about the antennas, but FAKT24.pl learned from the company renting the location that it was the local priest's idea. They did not reveal how much the parish is earning from the deal. Money 👌
