Catholic group founding conservative university in Warsaw
Fox News
An increasingly influential Polish Catholic legal institute, which lobbied for the recent restriction of abortion rights in Poland, is planning to open an international university in Warsaw, seeking to educate a new generation of conservative lawyers.
A spokesman said it is meant as a counterweight to existing universities, which the group views as excessively liberal, and which currently educate many of those who fill the ranks of European institutions. Intermarium (Latin for "between the seas") is a historical term that refers to a swath of central Europe between the Baltic, Black and Adriatic seas. It also is an area where Ordo Iuris and other conservative groups have been working. The Polish culture and education ministers will speak Friday, underlining the group’s closeness to the government, some of whose members have belonged to Ordo Iuris in the past. Other speakers are to include the Hungarian justice minister and Vaclav Klaus, the former Czech president.More Related News
