KRAKOW, Poland (Reuters) - A Polish archbishop on Thursday sought to reaffirm Christian family values at the heart of conservative President Andrzej Duda's re-election campaign, saying foreign "ideologies" were undermining the institution of marriage.

Archbishop Marek Jedrazszewski delivered the message to hundreds of people gathered, despite social distancing rules amidst the coronavirus outbreak, for a procession in the city of Krakow to mark the Catholic Corpus Christi holiday.
