[EVENT] The Poland Conundrum
Author Summary
canaman18 is in EVENT
Post Body

Poland has made a shocking turn to the left. The embrace of Bolshevism defies all logic, Poland is a Catholic nation, its people never showed a desire for this foreign system even when all the other peoples of Europe had to weather wave after wave of Bolshevik strike and nauseating Marxist theory. Masaryk's cabinet called an emergency meeting to discuss developments in Poland.

It is believed by the Czechoslovak government that there is no possible way that many of the officers can be happy to fight for a Bolshevik regime against common enemies of the Russians while also acceding to Ukrainian domination over Galicia. It is impossible that these officers will stand by while the Bolsheviks launch a coup in Poland. Additionally, the people of Poland also cannot possible be giving majority support to this Bolshevik government. First of all because a major party was banned and the election was boycotted, a party who likely had support from millions of Poles. Second, because half of the country was not even properly included in the elections, and third because the opposition was not given proper time to prepare meaning that the votes for the Christian Democracy Party and other important parts of Polish politics were not properly reflected in the legislative results.

Most significantly however, the Catholic Church, perhaps in no country more than Poland, is extremely against the ideals of Communism and Bolshevism. The atheist doctrine of Communism stands against everything Poles have felt is integral to their identity for centuries. The Catholic Church must take a stand, the Czechoslovak government have heard of homilies from Krakow to Poznan to Łódź decrying godless atheism for months. The Czechoslovak government has sent letters to Primate Edmund Dalbor, Archbishop of Krakow Adam Stefan Sapieha, Father Karol Radoński who is the editor of the Przewodnik Katolicki, the nation's largest Catholic weekly which is one of the most circulated magazines in the country, and many other prominent Catholic leaders. The letters will simply say that Czechoslovakia, while having conflict with the Catholic Church earlier in its history, still feels unified with Poland through Christianity. An important Christian principle is democracy, and as evident in Russia, Bolshevism is the antithesis of Christian Democracy and Catholic Social Teaching. During these troubled times we just want all Catholics in Poland to know they have a friend in Czechoslovakia who is willing to support their fight against evil in the world. The new so-called Polish allies in Galicia murdered Priests with impunity in November and are now somehow welcome to fight alongside God-fearing Poles? Truly strange times the world lives in.

Most importantly these letters will be circulated in Wielkopolska where Polish Nationalists are fighting Germans. Additionally, a secret telegram will be sent to leaders of the POW who have not yet been arrested by the Communist state. It is hoped by Czechoslovakia that leaders of the POW will meet with Czech diplomats and military leaders to discuss help in their cause of fighting the new Bolshevik German state.
