Perhaps in an effort at reconciliation, one of my Ukrainian friends has 'politely reminded' me about one of the Polish martyrs who figured in the list of published decrees from the Congregation for the Causes of Saints which appeared yesterday. So, with due reverence we must inform you about the martyrdom of the Servant of God Jerzy Popieluszko, diocesan priest; born Sept. 14, 1947, in Okopy Suchowola, Poland, and killed for hatred of the faith Oct. 20, 1984, near Wloclawek, Polond.
His beatification liturgy will take place in the near future, and if there is one more miracle attributed to his intercession, he will be rocketed to the level of Saint.
