When Justice Is A Sham‏


In 1972, Mr. Franciszek Gajowniczek proclaimed his thanks to the recently beatified Maximilian Kolbe for saving his life in Auschwitz.

No one would ever presume that a court of law in a free country shaped by Christian civilization would legalize the killing of innocent children-an unprecedented law that no civilized nation in the course of history has ever adopted. How could a blatant, egregious evil be approved, justified, rationalized, and applauded as enlightened thinking?
