In the announcement of the Supreme Medical Chamber, we read that the request for intervention concerns “false statements and highly harmful to public health by Father Roman Kneblewski, who in various Internet publications negate the fact of the epidemic and the need to use measures to protect against its spread”.
Gądecki pointed out that the clergyman’s statements about the coronavirus are contrary to current medical knowledge and statistical data, and that they undermine the efforts of thousands of doctors in Poland. He mentioned that denying the occurrence of a pandemic and the need to protect against the virus jeopardizes the health and life of people who trust such “irrational messages” and everyone with whom they will come into contact.
“Spreading such dangerous views may lead to tragic consequences. The President of the NRL expressed his hope that in a case so important for the life and health of Polish women and Poles, the Church will unequivocally and firmly support the actions of all employees of the health care system and oppose spreading false and highly harmful theses “- we read in the NIL press release.

Father Kneblewski He does not seem to be overwhelmed by the appeal of the president of the NRL on fake news. After the announcement, the NIL posted a graphic with a quote about the coronavirus.
Here’s what it says: “The masks have a very important function. The same function as the costumes in a costume movie. They increase the realism. The realism needed to create a viral apocalypse atmosphere. The psychosis of fear will make people more susceptible.”
A few days ago, after a thorough analysis of Roman Kneblewski’s online activities, we published an article on Onet “» Nationalist chaplain «on the coronavirus:» global fake «. The Church does not react.. Once the second in recent weeks In it, we highlighted the fake news that the priest has been spreading about the coronavirus since the beginning of the pandemic. We also wrote that his theories could be harmful.
While collecting materials for this article, neither the curia in Bydgoszcz, to which the controversial priest is subject, nor the Episcopate answered our questions. Only after its publication, an e-mail on this matter was sent to us by Father Paweł Rytel-Andrianik, spokesman for the Polish Bishops’ Conference. We present its content below.
“In matters relating to priests in a given diocese, contact the diocese [kurią – przyp. red.]. On the part of the Polish Bishops’ Conference, it was emphasized many times that it is absolutely necessary to follow sanitary recommendations, about which we informed in many communications. “
