Pope Francis accepts resignation of bishop from troubled Polish diocese

Vatican City, Oct 24, 2023 / 07:58 am (CNA).

Pope Francis accepted the resignation of 59-year-old Polish Bishop Grzegorz Kaszak on Tuesday following public calls for him to step down over poor management of scandals involving priests in his diocese.

Kaszak, who had led the southern Polish Diocese of Sosnowiec since 2009, had recently faced blowback from local media for his response to a priest of his diocese allegedly being caught hosting an orgy with a male prostitute at the end of August.

In a letter posted to the diocese’s website Oct. 24, Kaszak said he requested his resignation from Pope Francis on Sept. 29.

“I also ask everyone to forgive my human limitations. If I have offended anyone or neglected anything, I am very sorry for it,” the bishop said.

The diocese said in a Sept. 22 press statement that it had become aware from media reports of an orgy held the night of Aug. 30 in a building belonging to the Parish of St. Blessed Virgin Mary of the Angels in the city of Dąbrowa Górnicza. According to reports, emergency services were called for a prostitute who lost consciousness during the course of the night.

The diocese said it was investigating the incident and that there was no doubt about the participation of a priest identified as Father Tomasz Z., who was subsequently “deprived of all Church offices and functions until the matter is resolved.” The priest was also sent away from his parish.

“Church law provides for the most severe penalties for clergy who have committed such offenses, up to and including expulsion from the clerical state,” the statement said.

A Sept. 29 statement from the diocesan curia said the Diocese of Sosnowiec “maintains its will to fully clarify the matter and punish those responsible for the scandal, in accordance with the provisions of Church law.”

“We are aware of the harm done to all the faithful, whose faith could have been wounded and shaken in the face of these events, as well as the righteous indignation of public opinion,” it said. “The harm suffered by the person involved in the incident in Dąbrowa Górnicza who needed medical help is also important to us.”

According to local media, the alleged orgy was just the latest in a series of scandals involving priests in the Sosnowiec Diocese. 

Kaszak had also been accused of a lack of transparency about the cause of the sudden death of a priest and a deacon in March.

Unofficial reports claim that a 46-year-old priest committed suicide by jumping in front of a train after he allegedly stabbed a 26-year-old deacon to death.

In 2013, the Vatican closed the diocesan seminary of Sosnowiec after the school’s rector, identified as Father Mariusz T., was caught on video allegedly engaging in sexual activity in a gay club in Krakow in 2010.

According to the Polish bishops’ conference, Pope Francis has named Archbishop Adrian Galbas, SAC, coadjutor of Katowice, as apostolic administrator of the Sosnowiec Diocese until the appointment of a new bishop.

Galbas is currently in Rome to participate in the Oct. 4–29 assembly of the Synod on Synodality.

In a letter to the diocese Oct. 24, Galbas asked for the cooperation of Catholics “based on truth.”

“I also ask you to pray for the nomination of a new diocesan bishop. May it be a man ‘according to the heart of God,’ for, as St. John Mary Vianney wrote, such a shepherd is the greatest treasure that the good God can offer us and ‘one of the most precious gifts of God’s mercy,’” he said.

      Monsignor Angelo Roncalli was in Paris ‘officially’ in the quality of Nonce, while in reality he was a fugitive from the Istanbul police for a sordid case of pedophilia. The pedophile prelate who was a Rosicrucian met President Vincent Auriol of France. Auriol, a 33 degree Freemason, spoke to Roncalli in those terms: “Your little personal vices is not important for us…. we are going to make you a cardinal… in the case you become pope, you will make a council”. It is Vincent Auriol in person who put the cardinal’s biretta on Cardinal Roncalli after having initiated him to the Grand Orient Masonic Lodge. Once Roncalli was designated Antipope John XXIII from the outcome of the coup d’etat during the conclave of 1958, he became the first of an uninterrupted dynasty of six antipopes to this day. Antipope Francis the Reprobate is the sixth antipope of that sordid dynasty. This current antipope, Mister Bergoglio, is treated in the same cavalier terms as the late Roncalli by his masters from the lodges. The acceptance of a resignation following a scandal still remains of little importance to the lodges’ members, but only that it has become public and the culprit, whose real crime consists of having been caught, are expandable to the Masonic cause. Mister Bergoglio acts as a middle management manager with that case.

      Let’s talk about Mister Bergoglio. He is considered low within the lodges, such as not been permitted to have gold jewelry, but only a silver ring and…

        Let’s talk about Mister Bergoglio. He is considered low within the lodges, such as not been permitted to have gold jewelry, but only a silver ring and silver pectoral blasphemous ‘crucifix’. He certainly is not allowed to wear traditional papal red loafers, but only black colored shoes as curates do wear. Mister Bergoglio is not allowed to live in the papal apartment overlooking St. Peter’s Square but resided elsewhere (in a dorm?). This is why for his prayers of the Angelus, when he is not here, it is a hologram which feign his real presence during the public prayer, with… occasional glitches. The antipope hold a passport from Argentina and not of the Vatican, so is therefore at the total mercy and dependence of the good mood of his masters from the lodges, unlike his predecessors antipopes.
        That is the real situation of Mister Bergoglio. Does he deserve respect? It up to anyone to risk reprobation for respecting a puppet who has been told to claims that Klaus Schwab is more important than Jesus Christ, and who accepted some resignation from a diocese in Poland, long after a scandal had got out of hand.

        END.

      SECOND COMMENT: there has been differences in prestige towards the Freemasons’ masters among the six antipopes who have ganged at the deconstruction of the Roman Catholic Church for now over six decades. Some antipopes were extremely competent warlocks, while some others were mere operatives within the Synagogue of Satan. Here is an informal list of the six antipopes in a chronological order which spells their demonic sacerdotal importance, according to various readings of specialized publications in the likes of Chiesa Viva.

      ~Antipope “Saint” John XXIII. He was designated as the first antipope of the dynasty because the promising Mgr. Montini, the future Paul VI, was unelectable since he had been barred from cardinalship by Pope Pius XII due to high treason against the Church. Roncalli was highly blackmailable because he was a pedophile. Once designated as pontiff, he never made decisions on his own, but simply followed the instructions of his Masonic handlers.

      ~Antipope “Saint” Paul VI. He was a warlock and a high satanic priest of the Illuminati of Bavaria. He wore the ‘Caiaphas’ ephod. Eight days after his designation of June 21, 1963, Lucifer was enthroned in the Vatican during a multi-satellite series of black masses. One of those black mass is documented to have occur in a Satanic coven near Charlotte N.C. and the other in St. Paul’s Chapel in the Vatican. It is in this particular Chapel that Klaus Schwab is highly suspected to have acted as a lector…

        … It is in this particular Chapel that Klaus Schwab is highly suspected to have acted as a lector to a manifesto of the New World Order. Schwab should have been a 25 years old bespectacled “Prussian” during this night of June 29, 1963, as probably described by Fr. Malachi Martin SJ in his Vatican novel ‘Windswept House’. Where was the newly elected pontiff Paul VI? He is suspected to have participated to the enthronement of Lucifer in a crypt situated under the main altar of St .Peter’s Basilica. It would have been a top-secret ceremony. Antipope Paul VI, celebrated his fifteen years jubilee on June 29, 1978, which was the date of the enthronement of Lucifer, and obviously not of his ‘pontificate of the RCC’.
        Antipope Paul VI is the pontiff who caused irreversible damages to the sacred liturgy; to the orders. He instilled disobedience towards dogmas.

        ~Antipope John-Paul I. Definitely not a warlock, while not an innocent modernist. He was likely horrified upon discovering of the enthronement of Lucifer which had occur fifteen years before, but was snuffed (assassinated by poisoning) before doing anything in his 33 days long tenure. It is my personal opinion, upon witness from the clergy, that Cardinal Albino Luciani was a transition pontiff because a “promising non Italian” candidate had manifested during the first conclave of the ‘year of the three popes’.

        ~Antipope John-Paul II. A promising…

        - – - continuation of the ‘SECOND COMMENT’ – - -

        ~Antipope John-Paul II. A promising “non-Italian” man who universalized the destruction of the warlock Montini. JP2 was not a Satanic high priest, but just a clever populist politician who implemented the Satanic program of the destruction of the RCC. Among his handlers was Josef Cardinal Ratzinger, prefect of the CDF.

        ~Antipope Benedict XVI. He was a high priest of the Illuminati of Bavaria. His mitre represented many symbols of his sinister rank, although he did not wear the ‘Caiaphas’ ephod. There is no clear explanation to his resignation of 2013, but it is clear that his task at destroying the Church was done and that the relay could be given to a less sophisticated destroyer, such as the brutish Mister Bergoglio, the butcher of the Argentina Dirty War .

        ~Antipope Francis. He is the final executioner to what’s left of the Roman Catholic Church. He is a zero in handling the sacerdoce. He is vulgar in expressing his views. He is a collaborator to the COVID19 injection genocide program. He is chosen for his capacity to become the cause of reprobation for multitudes of souls.
