SMS From Heaven is based in Koszalin, a city near Gdansk. While the nation of Poland is heavily Catholic, response to the burning on social media has not been uniform. Many Facebook comments have been sharply critical of the priests’ actions. It is currently not clear exactly how many books were burned by SMS From Heaven, or what their titles are.
