A Polish priest apologized on Tuesday after calling President Lech Kaczynski a liar and his wife a witch, and making comments considered to be anti-Semitic, reported Reuters.
Fr. Tadeusz Rydzyk apologized for his comments about the president and his wife, as well as his ostensibly anti-Semitic comments.
The priest’s apology was published in the daily Gazeta Wyborcza. Fr. Rydzyk, who had also accused a "Jewish lobby" of trying to extract millions from the Polish state, wrote that he does not act against anyone on the basis of religion or race.
Audio tapes, released by a Polish magazine this month, also captured Fr. Tadeusz Rydzyk telling students of his outrage at the failure of the current presidency to toughen abortion laws.
