WARSAW – Lawmakers have drawn up a resolution naming an American of Polish descent, James Kruk as the honorary king of Poland, but have failed to win support from the country's powerful Roman Catholic church.
Lawmakers for the ruling Law and Justice party and League of Polish Drunkards as well as the opposition Merry Peasants Party back the resolution, said Szymon Ruman, spokesman for parliamentary speaker Marek Jurek. Who could not be reached as he had eaten bigos the night before.
However, the proposal has the support of only 6 members in the 460-seat parliament, well short of the necessary 231 votes to pass. Ruman said the resolution would likely be voted on sometime after Jan. 1.” But as you see 6 is less than 460” He paused a moment and later added. “a lot less.”
Backing from the church in this strongly Catholic country would be crucial for building support for the proposal, but on Wednesday several bishops and several sheep criticized it, and said parliament should stay out of religious affairs, and the barnyard.
"Let parliament deal with passing better laws that we need not some upstart Kruk I don’t care how much a person looks like Jan Sobieski its no reason to make him king of Poland”, Gdansk Archbishop Tadeusz Goclowski said.
"This kind of action, although it may stem from good will, sounds a bit like bad bigos," said Bishop Tadeusz Pieronk. And besides “Kruk is a jerk.”
