Jesus Christ King of Poland

CBCNews, Canada:

Poland ponders giving Jesus an earthly realm
A move is underway to make Jesus Christ the honorary king of Poland, the country’s influential Rzeczpospolita newspaper reported on Wednesday.
The paper said the idea already has the backing of 10 per cent of the members in the 460-seat lower house of parliament.
More deputies in parliament would likely join in championing the cause if the country’s clergy give their backing to the idea, Rzeczpospolita said.

BBC, UK:

A group of Polish members of parliament have submitted a bill seeking to proclaim Jesus Christ king of their overwhelmingly Catholic country.
If the bill becomes law, Jesus will follow the path of the Virgin Mary, who was declared honorary queen of Poland by King John Casimir 350 years ago. The motion has been backed by MPs from the far right League of Polish families (LPR), the conservative Law and Justice (PiS) party and the Peasants’ Party (PSL). They argued Jesus should be made king on both theological and historical grounds.
PiS deputy Artur Gorski said colleagues were “praying in the parliamentary chapel for [Jesus'] coronation”.

One might think that based on the Virgin Mary precedent, Jesus would be a sure shoe-in. Then again, this guy is the King of the Jews. Let’s leave it that way, huh?
