EU Court Rules Catholic Poland Must Recognize Foreign Same-Sex Marriages Despite National Law

The globalist empire just fired another shot at Christian Europe: Luxembourg’s activist court, the European Court of Justice (ICJ), has ordered majority-Catholic Poland to recognize same-sex “marriages” performed abroad, even though the Polish Constitution explicitly defines marriage as one man and one woman.

Two Polish men—one also holding German citizenship—went to Berlin in 2018, got a German marriage certificate, and then demanded Warsaw register it as a marriage for residency and benefits.

When Poland said no, the EU’s chief cultural globalism-enforcement court screamed “discrimination.”

The ECJ claims refusing to recognize the Berlin paperwork violates “freedom of movement” and “family life”—the same tired excuses Brussels always uses to nullify national sovereignty.

Apparently, no EU country is allowed to protect traditional marriage once a single member state adopts it.

Polish Christians are furious, and rightly so. Law and Justice MP Marcin Romanowski called it “a blatant violation of conferred competences” and a “perverse interference” in Poland’s sovereign right to define family.

Former Justice Minister Zbigniew Ziobro went even harder, branding the ECJ “the most politicized quasi-court in Europe” that now tramples all over Poland’s Constitution and the clear will of its Catholic majority.

The court, in a press release detailing the judgment, wrote: “Member States are therefore required to recognize, for the purpose of the exercise of the rights conferred by EU law, the marital status lawfully acquired in another Member State.”

Member states “enjoy a margin of discretion to choose the procedures for recognizing such a marriage,” the court added.

The ruling does not obligate countries to introduce same-sex marriage under their national laws, the court said.

Despite that, the ruling is designed specifically to blow the doors wide open: foreign same-sex certificates will now be used to collect spousal benefits, residency rights, and eventually adoption of kids bought on Western surrogacy markets.

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán saw this coming years ago. Hungary locked the natural definition of marriage and parenthood into its own constitution and keeps telling Brussels to get lost.

Real leaders like Orbán understand that traditional marriage is actually the foundation of Western civilization—one man, one woman, raising the next generation.

While Trump’s America pushes power back to the states and away from federal overreach, Europe’s fake conservatives roll over as globalist judges erase two thousand years of Christian teaching.

Poland now faces the same crossroads Hungary already picked: bow to the global left-liberal empire and betray your faith and families, or stand with Orbán, and face the inevitable consequences.

Nationalist-populist conservative leaders should be sending a crystal-clear message to their people—and actually carrying it out, unlike their liberal-conservative counterparts: close the borders, protect the natural family, and never allow faceless, unelected bureaucrats in Luxembourg or Brussels to dictate what marriage means in Warsaw or Budapest.
