This is both serious and silly. In this day and age, all the pundits are going to laugh, you know this. But in the 17th century, A very devout Poland consecrated their land to the Virgin Mother and made her their honorary queen. So how is this different? So I also see this as very sweet and devout. I very much hope that this does come to pass. The United States is also consecrated to the Virgin Mary. Many don't even realize this, but we are under her mantle of protection. She is also our Queen.

Some Polish lawmakers want Jesus as King of Poland

Some Polish lawmakers want to make Jesus the honorary king of their overwhelmingly Catholic country, Rzeczpospolita daily newspaper reported today. The idea has gained popularity since being mooted by a member of the ruling Law and Justice party last spring before a visit by Pope Benedict.

Artur Gorski, a member of the ruling Law and Justice party said some of his colleagues "were praying in the parliamentary chapel for (Jesus') coronation." So far, 46 deputies in the 460-seat sejm, or lower house, back the idea, Rzeczpospolita said. And more would support the move if Poland's clergy gave their blessing.

If the motion becomes law, Jesus would join a Virgin Mary icon that was made honorary queen of Poland in the 17th century after she was believed to have helped turn the tide in a battle with Sweden. - Reuters
