They have been silent for more than a year. Actually, it was silence in the field of publishing their irregular quarterly because in other fields they were very effective (including their website as well as “in reality” – including their “dayroom”), building the base and superstructure.

The core of the deliberations or rather call voice of the heated dispute is an article of priest Krzysztof Paczos O powszechności cnoty dziewictwa (Upon the universality of virginity virtue). The author referring mainly to the writings of Saint Thomas of Akwin and Teilhard de Chardin proves superiority of virginity over marriage and ascribed to it sexual activity. According to Paczos, marriage is a worse road to sainthood. It does not appear to be more difficult but less effective. For sexuality binds man with body that does not allow to develop fully spiritually. This Manichean dichotomy of soul and body which are constantly in opposition has an important position in deliberations of Paczos. Literary analysts of the article express strong opposition to the very comparison of marriage with virginity as two competitive roads to sainthood.
