Catholic bishops in Poland have declared Halloween harmful because it promotes “diabolical” behaviour.

THE body of President Lech Kaczynski was returned to Poland yesterday where it was greeted by grieving dignitaries and thousands of Poles lining the route from Warsaw’s airport to the presidential palace.

Poland today marked the 30th anniversary of Pope John Paul II’s first pilgrimage to his homeland, unveiling a giant cross monument in central Warsaw in honour of the late pontiff.

HIS body frail, but spirit strong, Pope John Paul II is making a sentimental journey this week to the land he knew as a young priest that many fear could be his last to his native Poland.
