The Peaceful Audacity of St. John Paul II


In an interview with Vatican Radio this past weekend, Cardinal Roberto Tucci gave a first hand account of the events in communist Poland during Saint John Paul II’s first visit there as Pope. Listen here.

This 1979 pilgrimage to Victory Square is featured in our exhibit, for it was an important moment in the late Holy Father’s stand against the Soviet Union. With his peaceful audacity, St. John Paul II played a key role in the fall of communism. He brought hope to those living behind the “Iron Curtain,” and that hope was eventually fulfilled.

St. John Paul II, Pray for Us!
