Father Marcin Filar is one of the Polish priests active on TikTok (@padrefilar). His profile is followed by over 14,000 people. The priest often answers questions about the Catholic religion and faith in God. Recently, however, he shared his experience. The film quickly became popular and aroused considerable controversy. Within two days, it has already been viewed by over 120,000 people.

It turns out that the priest, who goes by the name @padrefilar on TikTok, decided to undergo spiritual adoption using the “Adopt a Life” application. He also presented its principles and encouraged others to do the same. The mentioned application describes the child’s development day by day. – I am a priest and I adopted a child. I plan to devote 5 minutes a day to it – he informs at the beginning of his film.

“Life must be defended”

As we learn from the description of the recording, spiritual adoption is a prayer for “a child at risk of being killed in the mother’s womb.” – It involves reciting one mystery of the rosary every day (Our Father and 10 Hail Marys) and a short prayer for the child and its parents – said Father Marcin Filar. As you can easily guess, the priest’s encouragement aroused mixed reactions. “I am also considering taking up spiritual adoption, life must be defended”, “I have probably 4 or 5 such spiritual adoptions”, “Thanks to the priest, I also joined spiritual adoption, I live abroad and I didn’t know how to do it, thank you for the recommendation application” – we can read in the comments section under the video.

However, not everyone liked the idea. “The fact that a fetus is a child is only an interpretation of believers. Non-believers think differently. I respect both views”, “Why not adopt or do something that has a real impact on the well-being of children who are alive, and not just cry over unborn fetuses? – we read under the video.

Who creates the “Adopt a Life” application?

It is worth mentioning that the “Adoptuj Życie” application is created and developed by the Małe Feet Foundation. A few years ago, it became famous in the media. It is headed by priest Tomasz Kancelarczyk, who is famous for the hateful “Decontamination” campaign against people from the LGBTQ+ community. Then the priest called for disinfecting the streets after the Equality March in Szczecin. The idea sparked criticism even within the Law and Justice community. Therefore, the priest finally withdrew from the action and apologized.
