Lost Again

This week B-16 is beatifying Jerzy Popieluzsko, the priest in Poland who was murdered by government agents in the 1980s for his public pronouncements against the oppressive communist government in that country. The worldwide Church still has its occasional martyrs these days.

I read that Popieluzsko is so "Pop"ular among his fellow Poles, some 80 cities in that country have one or more streets named after him, and about 18,000 schools, parks, etc. are named for him. Good luck, then, to all the firemen, policemen, mailmen, deliverymen, and cabdrivers in Poland.
