1.   The South Boston case occurred at a Polish national parish, which, unlike most Catholic parishes, is defined by ethnicity, not geography.

2.   The Polish vicar who was transferred from Our Lady of Czestochowa last year had to be sent to take over a Polish parish in Irvington, he noted.

3.   There are fewer Polish neighborhoods, so there is no longer a need for so many Polish parishes.

4.   They fired at but missed the Rev. Janus Borzawha, the Polish parish priest of Dimataling who tried to help his colleague.
