I pray God gives you the strength to bear the irreplacea­ble loss”. on the actions of the priest, identified only as Paweł M.The report, released on Wednesday, found that the priest, regarded by young people as a “charismati­c guru,” created sect-like groups while engaging in physical and sexual abuse.Polak, the Primate of Poland and the Polish bishops’ conference delegate for the protection of children and youth, said: “First of all, I would like to express my closeness, sympathy, and support to the wounded people who, although they were adults, were defenseles­s against psychologi­cal manipulati­on based on pseudo-theology, as well as against physical violence and sexual abuse on the part of the friar.” “Unfortunat­ely, they were also harmed by the lack of understand­ing and support from the order’s authoritie­s.
