Church in the WorldJesuits banished in row over ex-spiesPoland Jonathan Luxmoore - 21 October 2006Poland's Jesuit order has banished two of its clergy to remote houses after they accused the order of covering up the presence of former secret police agents among its members. "We don't want to hide the truth - we believe and proclaim the evangelical path of recognising evil, converting and making penance," the Krakow-based Jesuit Provincial, Fr Krzysztof Dyrek, said. "But we do not accept the self-willed, irresponsible casting of accusations on the basis of partial, sometimes unchecked or merely overheard information." The men had been punished "not for seeking truth, but for deliberately and ostentatiously violating their superior's instructions". The clergy, Fr Krzysztof Madel and a deacon, Andrzej Miszk, were ordered to leave the southern city for houses in Klodzko and Wroclaw after publishing material about the Church's Communist-era infiltration on a Jesuit website. |
