You've got to get up in the morning
Priest resounds around Polish town
The Catholic priest of the small East Polish town of Kunow wants not only to spiritually nourish his flock, but also to teach them a "healthy lifestyle". Every day at 6.00 am, Marian Czerwinski blasts out a hymn from four speakers, each of 100 watts. To date, he has also shown no mercy at the weekend. "The dogs begin to howl in response. The entire town wakes up," complains a citizen.
Anyone who complains is ousted
Critics of the practice of the priest prefer to remain anonymous, as the priest described his opponents even as "enemies of the community" and read their names out at the Sunday Mass. This is not enough: the priest, until recently, broadcast all the Masses live over the loudspeaker system. "Imagine, you have a barbecue party, and suddenly you have to listen to a Requiem," says an urban resident.
Since even the local newspaper criticized the church, he has given up on the broadcast of Masses and the hymn in the morning is now shorter.
More sleep for the lambs
On Wednesday, the militant Don Camillo had to respond to alleged disturbed of the peace before court. There was a small victory for the tormented, sleepless lambs of the small town: During the hearing, the priest finally relented a bit and agreed that the Church's early morning call should be moved forward to 7.00 pm. The court has set out the procedure and the people of Kunow must now hope to be awakened at a more Christian time.
Everything can be settled amicably and to be fair to Don Camillo, he was an utterly reasonable charector.
