Bl. Fr. Jerzy Popie?uszko ? Exclusive Photo Restoration ? 4 Sizes ? Catholic Art ? Catholic Gift We are drawn to these kind, peaceful eyes of Fr. Jerzy Popie?uszko (1947-1984). He was a Polish priest, murdered by communists because he advocated peaceful resistance to their regime. He was a friend of Lech Walesa and was the main priest for the Solidarity trade union. The communists had been trying to kill him for a while. In their last attempt, they pretended they needed help with their car at the side of the road, and lured him to stop and help. They beat him to death with a rock and threw his body in the reservoir. The three men, agents of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, were quickly tried and convicted, but their superiors disavowed any knowledge of the plots.A quarter of a million people came to Fr. Popie?uszko's funeral. Lech Walesa, urging the emotional crowd to remain calm and peaceful, said at the time, "The worst has happened. Someone wanted to kill and he killed not only a man, not a Pole, not only a priest. Someone wanted to kill the hope that it is possible to avoid violence in Polish political life." Declared a martyr of the Church, and Beatified in 2010 by Benedict XVI, a reputed miracle is being investigated for his canonization.
