The human world, the social world is a real world and we have a duty to defend it, just as we have a duty to defend common sense, the golden mean or the natural order of the world.
God has given us the knowledge to recognize good and evil. In terms of the media, to write well about good people and to write badly about bad people means standing for the truth, to write badly about good people and to write well about bad people means standing for sin.
First - Project Poland, started in 966, did not finish after 1055 years. It will continue, as it has so far, for thirty-two generations of Poles. It will continue for the simple reason that Poles and the current Polish leading elites want that.
Here, the role of the elites is the most important, especially if they promote positive role models, the canon of national culture, Catholic culture, high culture.
“Man – as John Paul II teaches us - lives a truly human life through culture. His life is also a culture in the sense that through it man is distinguished from all other beings that are part of the visible world: man cannot do without culture.
Patriotism - writes John Paul II - means loving the native: loving history, tradition, language.. the works of fellow countrymen and the fruits of their genius. This love is tested by every threat to the good of the homeland. Our history teaches that Poles have always been able to make great sacrifices to preserve this good or to regain it”.
Of course, I base my deliberations on both history and the present day so…
Second - therefore, it is also independence and sovereignty of the Homeland. The ability to exercise political power. It is not Moscow, Brussels or Berlin that are the capitals of the Polish state, it is Warsaw. And that sentence should be understood very literally.
Building lasting and equal alliances or even communities around the state does not exclude sovereignty, and is even subordinated to it.
Central and Eastern Europe, the construction of Intermarium and the community of states between Germany and Russia are an extremely important task here. I see it as one of the priorities in the work of a sociologist and also a politician.
The same process is now in the UE countries, really the same… The European Union as an organization of a union of sovereign states that cooperate economically is a very good project.
Let us remember that if as a society we clearly define our stance in a particular matter put it in the legal system, it will be accepted in our country.
Instytut Myśli Schumana rozpoczął nowy projekt: Debaty Europejskie pod nazwą „Schuman’s Debates on Renewing the European Union”, które odbywać się będą co miesiąc.
Pierwsza z nich przypadła na 20 lutego 2021 roku a jej tematem było: "Superpaństwo — federalna Unia Europejska” czy „Zjednoczona w Różnorodności schumanowska Wspólnota Narodów Europy”. Który model jest bliższy duchowemu, kulturalnemu i historycznemu charakterowi Europy? Jakie powinny być proporcje między interesami ekonomicznymi i wspólnotowym charakterem w relacjach między narodami w Unii Europejskiej przyszłości?
