Officially: Jesus Christ, the "King of Polish". President, Members and 6 thousand people took part in the ceremony

This is outrageous! How did the Poles let this happen? Honestly, a long-haired, sandal-wearing, socialist hippie Jew as king of Poland?
Seriously, though, why do modern-day countries do this sort of silly stuff? Such an odd move, one that obviously panders to a certain segment of the Christian community. I can't think of any other nation that has posthumously made Jesus of Nazareth an official historical monarch. How was this even considered a priority given the various social and economic challenges facing Poland at the moment? Also, isn't it a bit blasphemous to put Jesus in a secular, political role, especially that of a monarch, when he (allegedly) told his disciples to do no such thing? As related in the New Testament, Jesus said "My kingdom is not of this world." Seems pretty clear cut to me.
