M-ar interesa totusi un comentariu mai consistent din partea romano-catolica vizavi de ce a adus in discutie Decebal.

Avem o marturie mai mult decat obiectiva, data in link-uri, scrisoarea Cancelarului Lituaniei, din partea regelui Poloniei. Este incredibil ca nici conducerea nu era de acord cu teroarea impusa de episcop, pe care o si spune explicit:
"I admit, that I too was concerned about the cause of Union and that it would be imprudent to abandon it; but it had never occurred to me that your Eminence would implement it using such violent measures...
You say that you are "free to drown the infidels (i.e. those who have not accepted the Unia), to chop their heads off"; etc. Not so! The Lord's commandment expresses a strict prohibition to all, which concerns you also. When you violated human conscience, closed Churches so that people would perish like infidels without divine service, without Christian rites and sacraments; when you abused King's favors and privileges -- you managed without us; but when there is a need to suppress seditions caused by your excesses you want us to cover up for you... As to the dangers that threaten your life, one may say that everyone is the cause of one's own misfortune. Stop making trouble, do not subject us to the general hatred of the people and yourself to obvious danger and general criticism... Everywhere one hears people grumbling that you do not have any worthy priests, but only blind ones... Your ignorant priests are the bane of the people... But tell me, your Eminence, whom did you win over, whom did you attract with your severity... It will turn out that in Polotsk itself you have lost even those who until now were obedient to you. You have turned sheep into goats, you plunged the state into danger, and maybe all of us Catholics -- into ruin... It has been rumored that they (the Orthodox) would rather be under the infidel Turks than endure such violence... you yourself are the cause of their rebellion. Instead of joy, your notorious Union brought us only troubles and discords and has become so loathsome that we would rather be without it!"-Chancellor Lev Sapega of Poland-Lithuania, dated March 12, 1622
Cancelarul spune ca nu e de acord cu ce spune episcopul, ca este liber sa ii inece si sa le taie capetele celor ce nu accepta uniatia, crestinismul nu e asa. Nu putem avea o dovada mai clara, conducerea fiind catolica si ea.
