Polish Catholics: A special kind of crazy
I feel pretty well justified in saying that, seeing as I grew up in a house full of them. I probably even qualified myself at one point.
Anyway, the Polish government attacked a bunch of nuns who'd been kicked out of their order and took over their former convent. I think. This article has some huge holes in it, and it's not very clear. The reporter seems pretty darn upset that they couldn't get inside to film or talk to people, and that must have distracted from actual information gathering.
Either that, or the church doesn't want anyone to realize that this is the type of behavior that fanatical devotion inspires.
