Fr. Gużyński on giant Marian statue in Konotop: bishops guilty of faith's peripheralism

The unveiling of a record-breaking statue of the Virgin Mary in Konotop has sparked debate in Poland about the value of building monumental religious figures. Dominican friar Fr. Paweł Gużyński sharply criticised Catholic bishops, accusing them of favouring spectacular but hollow symbols over genuine spiritual depth. He described the trend as a symptom of a deeper crisis within the Polish Church.
