Polish TV bows to church demands

Written by Super User 24 Oct 2011

Poland's state TV network has given in to demands by the Roman Catholic Church and promised not to re-employ a ‘death metal’ rock star on its most popular music talent show. ’ Polish TV's president, Juliusz Braun, issued the following statement on 13 October ,‘In connection with press reports about Adam Darski's behaviour during a recent Warsaw club concert provocatively showing a lack of respect for religious convictions, as well as for the sick and handicapped,. The statement was issued after reports that Darski, whose stage name is Nergal, had appeared as a priest and pretended to cure a handicapped person during a Warsaw concert by his band, Behemoth. When it was announced Darski would appear on Voice of Poland, several church leaders and Catholic organizations threatened to withhold their licence fees. Darski's concert stunts have included tearing up a Bible and describing the Roman Catholic Church as a ‘criminal sect.’

Pray: as the church makes a stand against the behaviour of ‘death metal’ bands that the media would hold back from promoting such behaviour. (Jas.1:27)
